A             E  A  E
Summon up the mas! (lighting!)
  A          E  A E
Play on the pan!
  A                  E
Staring dreads are jerking their locks
      A               E
the white star liner sank in the docks
             A
But on the drummer's face, there is a look of dread
        E
As he drums away 400 years of dread
     A
The dancer man-in the power of mas
     E
Is smoking ti the mighty sparrow's blast
 F#m     E      D  A
But you better be careful
     F#m          E      D          A
You still got to watch, watch yourself

[Chorus]
                 A   E
You want to be crazy
                    A
So you want to go crazy
           E
Let's go crazy
                    A   E
So you want to be crazy
                A
Then let's go crazy
           E
Let's go crazy

[Verse]
      A                E
The lawful force are here of course
      A                E
For special offenders for the special court
          A
But the young men know when the sun has set
 E
Darkness comes to settle the debt
 A
Owed by a year of S.U.S. and suspect
   E
Indiscriminate use of the power of arrest
          F#m            E   D  A
They're waiting for the sun to set
          F#m            E   D  A
they're waiting for the sun to set

[Chorus]
                  A   E
So you wanna go crazy
                  A
So you wanna be crazy
           E
Let's go crazy
                  A   E
So you wanna go crazy
                A
Then let's go crazy
           E
Let's go crazy

[Verse]
     A        E           A                 E
The mighty observer who keeps his cabinets hot
         A
A great meeting of rhythm and a rhythm and face
    E
A humming of values and a children's place
          A
But the sticks man gives the copper good excuse
    E
To shut off the ganja and control the juice
 F#m  E   D  A
Control the juice
 F#m  E   D  A
Control the juice

[Chorus]
                A   E
So take it on crazy
                A
So take it on crazy
           E
Let's go crazy
               A
So take it on crazy
 E
Jah Shaka
             A
Take it on crazy
           E
Let's go crazy
  A               E
Bricks and bottles
 A             E
Corrugated iron
  A                E
Shields and helmets
 A            E
Carnival time
