400 Years Lyrics - Live At My Father's Place 1978 - Peter Tosh

Four hundred years (four hundred years, four hundred years. wo-o-o-o) 

And it's the same 

The same (wo-o-o-o) philosophy 

I've said it's four hundred years; 

(four hundred years, four hundred years. wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o) 

Look, how long (wo-o-o-o) 

And the people they (wo-o-o-o) still can't see. 

Why do they fight against the poor youth of today? 

And without these youths, they would be gone 

All gone astray 

Come on, let's make a move: 

(make a move, make a move. wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o) 

I can (wo-o-o-o) see time (wo-o-o-o) - time has come, 

And if-a fools don't see 

(fools don't see, fools don't see. wo-o-o-o) 

I can't save the youth: 

The youth (wo-o-o-o) is gonna be strong. 

So, won't you come with me; 

I'll take you to a land of liberty 

Where we can live - live a good, good life 

And be free. 

Look how long: four hundred years, (four hundred years, four hundred years) 

Way too long! (wo-o-o-o) 

That's the reason my people (wo-o-o-o) - my people can't see. 

Said, it's four hundred long years - (four hundred years, four hundred years. wo-o-o-o) 

Give me patience (wo-o-o-o) - same philosophy. 

It's been four hundred years, (four hundred years, four hundred years) 

Wait so long! wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o. 

How long? Four hundred long, long years.
