Oh, Lord I′m on a permanent holiday
I'm going outside to play
I ain′t gonna slave away
Not for no corporate Babylon
I'm never gonna be a pawn
In their manipulation games
Oh, Lord I'm taking the reins
I′m breaking the chains
I′m never gonna kneel, no way
My prophet is Heaven sent
No preacher or president can lead I astray
They'll never know
I′m taking Jah highway home
Oh, I've got my own path to follow
Don′t know if you'll overstand
I′ve got my, my, my own truth to swallow
And you know that if I could
You know I would throw my guitar on my back
Pick up the slack, and leave here tomorrow
But I know that I am a pawn of Babylon
I got to face the facts, embrace the ax
And cut these chains off my sorrow
So I'm on a permanent holiday
I'm going outside to play
I ain′t gonna slave away, no
Not for no corporate babylon
I′m never gonna be a pawn
In their manipulation games
Ten thousand years of captivity
We must eventually open up our eyes and see
They're manipulating we with so much uncertainty
And so many mysteries
Why are so few questioning the unnatural state of things?
It′s a nightmare
We're living in a nightmar
Everyone′s living so scared
They're virtually unaware
Of this fear that rules their lives
Occupies, consumes their minds
This fear of bankruptcy
Financial impotancy
It′s funny money, money, money
It's all this digital currency, woah, yeah
It's all this monopoly money
That keeps us from ever being free, ooh-oh-yaeh
And so it seems we′ll be in this prison for life
′Cause if we keep buying then they'll keep selling the lie
So it′s up to I and I
I... nip..., mind... and...
I... Rev..., make... cel...
I... change... man... words...
I... be...
I... own...
I... (be) nip...(late), mind... and...
I... (seek) Rev... (lation), make... (life) cel... (bration)
I... (be) change... (seeking) man... (fast) words... (speak)
I... (fuse) be... (prisioned)
I... (make) own... (cisions)
I (won't be) manip... (ulated), mind (controlled) and in... (undated)
I (will seek) the reve... (lation), make (my life) a cele... (bration)
I (will be) the change (I′m seeking), mani... (fest) the words (I'm speaking)
I (refuse) to be (imprisoned) I (will make) my own (decisions)
Oh, Lord
I won′t be manipulated
Mind-controlled and inundated
I will seek the revelation
Make my life a celebration
I'm gonna be the change I'm seeking
Manifest the words I′m speaking
I refuse to be imprisoned
I will make my own decisions
I′m on a permanent holiday
I'm going outside to play
I ain′t gonna slave away, no
Not for no corporate babylon
I'm never gonna be a pawn
In their manipulation games
Oh Lord, I′m taking the reins
I'm breaking the chains
I′m never gonna kneel, no way
My prophet is Heaven sent
No preacher or president can lead I astray
We'll never know
I'm taking Jah highway home
Ooh, I′ll never go astray with na-na-na...
I′m leaving the past
And forwarding fast
'Cause freedom is here to stay
Oh, Lord we got to take back the knowledge
We got to take back the power
We got to take back the knowledge
We got to take back the power, oh-yeah
We got to take back the knowledge
To take back the power
Take back what they have stolen from our hearts
And we got to take back the esoteric knowledge
Oh, Lord for too long they′ve been keeping us apart
Oh yes, we got to take back the knowledge
Take back the power
Humanity don't let this be our final hour
Take back the knowledge
Take back the power
Humanity don′t let this be our final hour
We got to take back the knowledge
Take back the power
Humanity don't let this be our final hour
Take back the knowledge
Take back the power
Humanity don′t let this be our final hour
Take back the knowledge
Take back the power
Humanity don't let this be our final hour
Take back the knowledge
Take back the power
Humanity don't let this be our final hour
Take back the knowledge
Take back the power
Humanity don′t let this be our final hour
Take back the knowledge
Take back the power
Humanity don′t let this be our final hour
We got take back the knowledge
Take back the power
