Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Say say say
Oh
Ball, ball of fire
Ball of fire
Gonna
Clap up inna babylon
Ball, ball of fire
Ball of fire
Gonna
Clap up inna babylon

Ten thousand careless Ethiopians
Went down, down inna ground
Hey, hey, hey big man!
Your health, no, your wealth can't save you now (can't save you)
Drivin' in your big limo truck
Chauffer-driven and you sittin' in the back (what you think in fire)
Inna given time, I know
Fire gonna burn me down (gonna burn me easy)
I a Congo natty Rasta man
Oh, that's gonna be dread

Ball, ball of fire
Ball of fire
Gonna
Clap up inna babylon

You can say, you know

Ten thousand careless Ethiopians
Went down, down inna ground
Hey big man! Your health no, your wealth can't save you now (can't save you)
Drivin' in you big Cadillac
Chauffer-driven and you jammin' in the back (what you think in fire)
Where you gonna run, when dis a fire start to burn (gonna burn me easy)
Ten thousand careless Ethiopians
Went down with Babylon

Ball, ball of fire
Ball of fire
Gonna clap up inna Babylon

Where you gonna run, where you gonna run (ball)
When dis a fire, dis a fire start to burn (ball of fire)
Ten thousand careless Ethiopians (ball of fire gonna)
Clap up inna Babylon

To the? Man that prays for himself
When the fire is the worst, are something else
Where you gonna run, where you gonna run
Is a fire, is a fire gonna burn
