Downpressor Man Lyrics - Peter Tosh

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 

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 

The sea will be boiling 

All along that day 

You gonna run to the rocks 

The rocks will be melting 

When you run to the rocks 

The rocks will be melting 

When you run to the rocks 

The rocks will be melting 

I said, all along that day 

So I said 

Downpresser man 

Where you gonna run to 

I said, downpresser man 

Where you gonna run to 

I said, downpresser man 

Where you gonna run to 

All along that day 

You drink your big champagne and laugh 

You drink your big champagne and laugh 

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 man 

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 law 

Beggin' to hide you 

You gonna run to the law 

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 

I said all along 

Along that day (downpresser man) 

Downpresser man, downpresser man 

Downpresser man, downpresser man 

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 

Can't call him in a bar 

Fe can drink some 

Devil soup 

Can't bribe him to run a car now 

Can't test him faith 

Downpresser man, don't, downpresser man 

I said, downpresser man, don't run, downpresser man 

Downpresser man, where you gonna run to 

Downpresser man 

You can't bribe no one 

Them no want no money 

Them run'f money 

That money gets funny 

Downpresser man
