Peter Tosh: Downpresser Man |
|
Downpresser man Where you gonna run to? Downpresser man Where you gonna run to? Downpresser man Where you gonna run to? All along that day. (CHORUS)
You gonna run to the sea But the sea will be boiling When you run to the sea The sea will be boiling When you run to the sea That sea will be boiling All along that day.
When you run to the rocks The rocks will be melting When you run to the rocks Them rocks will be melting All that day.
So I said (CHORUS)
You drink your big champagne and laugh ho-ho-ho-ho-ho You drink your big champagne and laugh a-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha You drink your big champagne and laugh All along that day
I wouldn't like to be a flea Under your collar man I wouldn't like to be a flea Under your collar, man I wouldn't like to be a flea Under your collar All along that day
You can run but you can't hide You can run but you can't hide You can run but you can't hide Telling you all along that day
You gonna run to the Lord Beggin' to hide you You gonna run to the Lord Beggin' to hide you You gonna run to Jah Beggin' to hide you All, all along that day.
And I said Downpresser Man Where you gonna run to? Where you gonna run to? Downpresser Man Where you gonna run to? All along that day
Wait, Downpresser Man Where you gonna run to? Downpresser Man I don't know where you gonna run to All along that day
Downpresser man You can't run, you can't bribe Jah-Jah You can't call him in a bar Can drink some devil soup Can't bribe him to run a car Can't test him faith Downpresser man Where you gonna run to?
Downpresser man Where you gonna run to? Downpresser man You can't bribe no one Them no want no money Them run'f money 'Cause money get funny
Downpresser man ... It's here ....

and as tonight I've been focused on reading more about Global Warming, it seems kind of prophetic.

collects Peter Tosh CDs. So I have been listening to a good bit of Tosh today. And I would think that, especially in terms of global warming, that song does seem appropriate. Peter Tosh was a serious man.
