A faithful promise, yeah, is just a comfort to a fool.
You gave a great speech, yeah
Then you kill them with your promises.
Sufferation to the max is
The only thing that increases.
How long you gonna hold the veil
Over my people's eyes ?
How long you gonna sit over there and tell your bag a bull lies ?

Ho Ho Ho Jericho, Jah children went…
Ho Ho Ho Jericho, African dissent…

It takes a revolution sometimes to mend a solution,
And it's my conclusion it is the only solution
You sit up in your high rise yeah
Inna your jacket and your neck tie
You don't care about the sufferer's cry.
It's time you realize.

Ho Ho Ho Jericho, Jah children went
Ho Ho Ho Jericho, African dissent

How long you think you can hold the veil
Over the children eyes ?
How long can you sit over there and tell them a bag a bull lies ?
You sit up in your high rise yeah
Inna your jacket and your neck tie
You don't care about the sufferer's cry.
It's time you realize.

Ho Ho Ho Jericho, Jah children went
Ho Ho Ho Jericho, African dissent

A fateful promise, yeah, is just a comfort to a fool.
How long you gonna sit over there and tell your bag a bull lies ?
