Sufferin' In The Land

Jimmy Cliff

Da, da, da, day...

Sufferin' in the land



It is plain to see

We're in a devil situation

Sufferin' in the land

Nearly half of the world

On the verge of starvation

Sufferin' in the land

And the children are crying

For more education

Sufferin' in the land

Let's singin'



Da, da, da, day...

Sufferin' in the land



The rich get richer

And the poor get poorer

Sufferin' in the land

Everything's gettin' higher

And the time gettin' tougher

Sufferin' in the land

They're makin' guns and bombs

To set the world on fire

Sufferin' in the land

I'm singin'



Da, da, da, day...

Sufferin' in the land, Lord



Da, da, da, day...

Sufferin' in the land
