faithful promise, yeah, is just [bad word] to a fool. 
 You gave a great speech, yeah 
 Then you kill them with your promises. 
 Sufferation to the max is 
 The only thing that increases. 
 How long you gonna hold the veil 
 Over my people’s eyes ? 
 How long you gonna sit over there and tell your bag a bull lies ?

 Ho Ho Ho Jericho, Jah children went… 
 Ho Ho Ho Jericho, African dissent… 

 It takes a revolution sometimes to mend a solution, 
 And it’s my conclusion it is the only solution 
 You sit up in your high rise yeah
 Inna your jacket and your neck tie 
 You don’t care about the sufferer’s cry. 
 It’s time you realize. 

 Ho Ho Ho Jericho, Jah children went
 Ho Ho Ho Jericho, African dissent

 How long you think you can hold the veil 
 Over the children eyes ? 
 How long can you sit over there and tell them a bag a bull lies ? 
 You sit up in your high rise yeah
 Inna your jacket and your neck tie 
 You don’t care about the sufferer’s cry. 
 It’s time you realize.

 Ho Ho Ho Jericho, African dissent

 fateful promise, yeah, is just [bad word] to a fool.
