roots  radicals  rockers  and  reggae  -  stiff  little  fingers

you  roots,  you  radicals,  you  rock  to  the  reggae

you  roots,  you  radicals,  you  dub  to  the  reggae

you  roots,  you  radicals,  you  skank  to  the  reggae

let  there  be  peace  in  the  east,  peace  in  the  west

you  roots,  you  radicals  and  all  the  rest

peace  up  north,  peace  down  south

peace  in  the  ghettos  all  round  about

we  are  all  in  a  one  and  one  in  all

so  throw  away  the  guns  and  the  war's  all  gone

so  throw  away  the  hunger  and  the  war's  all  gone

so  throw  away  the  fighting  and  the  war's  all  gone

so  throw  away  the  grudges  and  the  war's  all  gone

you  roots,  you  radicals,  you  rock  to  the  reggae

you  roots,  you  radicals,  you  dub  to  the  reggae

love  and  respect  your  itren  and  protect  your  little  sister

and  the  same  shall  return  to  you,  my  friend

don't  fight  against  no  colour  class  or  creed

for  on  discrimination  does  violence  breed

we  are  all  in  a  one  and  one  in  all

so  throw  away  the  guns  and  the  war's  all  gone

so  throw  away  the  hunger  and  the  war's  all  gone

so  throw  away  the  fighting  and  the  war's  all  gone

so  throw  away  the  grudges  and  the  war's  all  gone

you  roots,  you  radicals,  you  rock  to  the  reggae

you  roots,  you  radicals,  you  dub  to  the  reggae

you  roots,  you  radicals,  you  skank  to  the  reggae

comfort  the  afflicted  and  keep  them  from  harm

let  age  be  protected  and  the  infants  be  strong

go  for  it!

you  got  to  pass  the  bowl  and  make  the  food  go  round

'cause  that's  the  only  way  to  trample  crime  to  the  ground

equal  rights  and  justice  for  one  and  all

'cause  only  through  liberty  freedom  shall  form

don't  fight  against  no  colour  class  or  creed

for  on  discrimination  does  violence  breed

we  are  all  in  a  one  and  one  in  all

so  throw  away  the  guns  and  the  war's  all  gone

so  throw  away  the  hunger  and  the  war's  all  gone

so  throw  away  the  fighting  and  the  war's  all  gone

so  throw  away  the  guns  and  the  war's  all  gone

so  throw  away  the  hunger  and  the  war's  all  gone

so  throw  away  the  fighting  and  the  war's  all  gone

so  throw  away  the  grudges  and  the  war's  all  gone
