There'll never be no peace
Down here, in babylon
Till all my brothers here
Down here, are free
We no want to be no peace
Down here, in our neighbours land
So all we want is to be free
Like the birds and the bee
Then we can call you brothers
Brothers, we will be
We can break bread together
The way jah wants us to be
We can drink and honey
No wine we need this time
Then you can be my honey
Your daddy won't mind
If you wanna be at peace
Down here, in babylon
Could you help to give us back
Our rights, or try!
Why don't you daughter fall in love
With me, am i not a man?
Now all we asking you
Is to make, us free
Then we can call you brothers
Brothers, we will be
We can break bread together
The way jah wants us to be
We can drink and honey
No wine we need this time
Then you can be my honey
Your daddy won't mind
Like the birds and the bee
