Piece Of The Pie

Jimmy Cliff

The lion is weak and ready for his jungle

What is the jungle

Equal rights and justice

And if he doesn't get it

He's gon' to take it any way and anyhow

So you better give up



We want our piece of the pie

Right here, right now

We want our piece of the pie

Right here, right now



We want our piece of the pie

Right here, right now

We want our piece of the pie

Right here, right now



They run our fathers up their pole

And try to take their soul

We realize we know the score

So don't try that no more



No tricks, no traps, no lies, no gripes

Can't hold us anymore

We've had enough of jive and bluff

We want our share for sure



We want our piece of the pie

Right here, right now

We want our piece of the pie

Right here, right now



We want our piece of the pie

Right here, right now

We want our piece of the pie

Right here, right now



A hungry man is a angry man

I hope you understand

Because a hand to mouth won't work it out

Of this there is no doubt



We want our share, we have no fear

So you better beware

'Cause a hungry mouth is a angry mouth

Worse without a job, hey



We want our piece of the pie

Right here, right now

We want our piece of the pie

Right here, right now, hey



We want our piece of the pie

Right here, right now

We want our piece of the pie (A seh a seh a seh a so a seh)

Right here, right now (A seh a seh a so oh)



Bom dee long dong bom bong bom da ding dong

Bom la bom bom bom bom dey

Rom bom bom bom ding dong a ring rong a free mon

Bom bom bom bom dey hey



We want our piece of the pie

Right here, right now

We want our piece of the pie

Right here, right now



There's one thing we'd like to know

Where does the money go

'Cause some got it, and some drop it

Well, someone ought to know



This life as living to offer

To every single
