Iron Lion Zion

Bob Marley & The Wailers

Eh! I am on the rock

And then I check a stock

I have to run like a fugitive

To save the life I live

I'm gonna be iron like a lion in Zion

I'm gonna be iron like a lion in Zion

Oh, yeah! Iron, lion, Zion - lion, Zion!

I'm on the run

But I ain't got no gun

See, they want to be the star,

So they fightin' tribal war,

And they saying, "Iron like a lion in Zion

Iron like a lion in Zion

Iron, lion, Zion!"



I'm on the rock-a,

Seel-ya-bub, I take a stock,

I had to run like a fugitive, good Lord!

Just to - just to save the life I live. Oh, now!

I'm still - I'm gonna be Iron like a lion in Zion

(What did I say?) I'm gonna be Iron like a lion in Zion

What did you say? Iron, lion, Zion!



I'm on the run,

But I don't got no gun

See, my brothers wanna be the stars,

So they fighting tribal war,

And they saying, "Iron like a lion in Zion."

Wo! Lion like iron a Zion!

Eel-ya-bub-a, Iron, lion, Zion. Yeah, now, now!



Iron, lion, Zion! I'm on the run! (I'm on the run)

Iron, lion, Zion!
