Peter Tosh : Downpressor 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.

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 melitng.
When you run to the rocks,
The rocks will be melitng.
I said all along that day.

So I said:
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 drink your big champagne and laugh. (haha-haha)
You drink your big champagne and laugh. (haha-haha)
You drink your big champagne and laugh. (haha)
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’ Him to hide you.
You gonna run to the Lord,
Beggin’ Him to hide you.
You gonna run to Jah,
Beggin’ Him 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!
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! Downpresser man!
I said downpresser man! 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 get funny.
Downpresser man..
