wrong right Some people got the right wrong Some people got
the wrong right Some people got the right wrong
And they're
teaching their doctrine To the children of today Every mickle make a
muckle If you know what I say Don't be fooled by the fool The trick
that they play
CHORUS
And they know what is in their
mind They're trying to prove instead of to find Truth don't hide in no
valley Truth don't hide in no brook Truth a hide in your
heart
CHORUS
Woe onto them who cause iniquity With chords of
vanity, they call evil god Put darkness for light; Bitter for sweet Woe
unto dem who are wise In their own eyes, what a life
Behind the scene
eyes nuh see What governments hide C.I.A should D.O.A., K.G.B. should
R.I.P. That's what on my mind The bible was changed to suit King
James Many empty lies, hear say, hear say, hear say John public blind,
public want to know the truth today
And the world became this
way Beacuse the trick in the trade They refuse to see it, save the people
pray Doctrine where is your happiness We're in a slummy economic
mess Whole world is crying, whole world is
dying
