Sorrow, Tears And Blood Lyrics - Sorrow Tears And Blood - Fela Kuti

Hey, yeah 

Everybody run, run, run 

Everybody scatter scatter 

Some people lost some bread 

Someone nearly die 

Someone just die 

Police dey come, army dey come 

Confusion everywhere 

Hey, yeah 

Seven minutes later 

All don cool down, brother 

Police don go away, army don disappear 

Them leave sorrow, tears and blood 

Them regular trademark 

Them leave sorrow, tears and blood 

Them regular trademark 

That is why 

Hey, yeah 

Everybody run, run, run 

La, la, la, la 

My people self dey fear too much 

We fear for the thing we no see 

We fear for the air around us 

We fear to fight for freedom 

We fear to fight for liberty 

We fear to fight for justice 

We fear to fight for happiness 

We always get reason to fear 

We no want die, we no want wound 

We no want quench, we no want go 

I get one child, mama dey for house 

Papa dey for house, I want build house 

I don build house, I no want quench 

I want enjoy, I no want go, ah 

So policeman go slap your face 

You no go talk 

Army man go whip your yansh 

You go dey look like donkey 

Rhodesia dey do them own 

Our leaders dey yab for nothing 

South Africa dey do them own 

Them leave sorrow, tears and blood 

Ah, na so, time will dey go, time no wait for nobody 

Like that choo, choo, choo, choo, ah 

But police go dey come, army go dey come 

With confusion in style like this
