Sufferin' Souls (Babylon Circus)

Sitting on the ground in di ghetto Talking with my brother Natty Congo Bongo Let me tell you what he said Let me tell you what he said How long shall I stay on that bridge, Waiting for the Police to go How long shall I smoke on that spliff Waiting for the children to grow Too long, we've been too long Waiting for the children to grow Sitting on a step at di station With Mama in a great tribulation Let me tell you what she said Let me tell you what she said See dem a cheating and a lying See dem a shootin' our children And we're standing aside, doing nothing And we're holdin' our head and crying. Sitting in the grass inna Zion Chatting with an old countryman Let me tell you what he said Let me tell you what he said They came up, to cut down my tree They came up, to burn all di country They came up... Sufferin' souls in Asia Sufferin' souls in Africa Sufferin' souls in South America Sufferin' souls everywhere, And no where to go fe dem now
