Lyrics Peter Tosh – Rumours Of War
Text:
Talkin’ ’bout war
And rumors of war
Talkin’ ’bout the coming of Jah
The time is not far
Oh my majesty
Please rescue me-e-e
Oh my majesty
Can’t you rescue me-e-e
Wars
Rumors of war
Talkin’ ’bout the coming of my father
The time is not far
God when I reach home
How happy I’ll be
Knowing I am home
Where I am free
Talkin’ ’bout war
And rumors of war
Talkin’ bout the coming of the Negus
The time is not far
Oh my x3
majesty
Can’t you rescue me
When I look upon creation
All I see is man’s abomination
Causing combination
Amongst the younger generation
War
Rumors of war
Talkin’ ’bout the coming of Jah Jah
When I reach that place
Gonna be happy and free
Knowing I’m in that land
And I’ve got my liberty
And I see war in a Beirut
War in a…
Lebanon
Syria, yeah
Pakistan
Namibia
Soweto
Johannesburg
South Africa
Make sure your hands and heart are clean
So you can rally around the red, gold and green
