Democracy Don't Work

Jimmy Cliff

    Continues after the ad

    Pursuit of happiness is everyone's right
    Cause all are equal in ter father sight
    But when it comes to indigenous peoples rights
    Why is the system always giving us fight

    Because they got no lovein their hearts
    Democracy was not built upon love from the start
    Masses of people don't have enough to eat
    Democracy is built up only for the elite

    Democracy don't work, democracy don't work
    Oh, oh, oh
    Democracy don't work, democracy don't work
    Oh, oh, oh
    Democracy don't work

    Under the law they say justice is for all
    But for same people it don't exist at all
    Because if you got money then justice you can buy but
    If you ain't got any then you know you might die

    Continues after the ad

    They say in God we trust but to man they plea
    Whose God is it that allow this to be
    As long as there is partiality
    How is there going to be equality

    Democracy don't work, democracy don't work
    Oh, oh, oh
    Democracy don't work, democracy don't work
    Oh, oh, oh
    Democracy don't work

    Pursuit of life and liberty is your right
    Don't allow anyone to steel your birth right
    Because everyone has got their own identity
    Democracy is a rod that leads to tyranny

    As long as their is racism
    Classism and communism skisim
    As long as their is inhumane government
    There's no peace withinand truth has become a sin

    Democracy don't work, democracy don't work
    Oh, oh, oh
    Democracy don't work, democracy don't work
    Oh, oh, oh
    Democracy don't work
