Oh, Lord I′m on a permanent holiday

I'm going outside to play

I ain′t gonna slave away

Not for no corporate Babylon

I'm never gonna be a pawn

In their manipulation games

Oh, Lord I'm taking the reins

I′m breaking the chains

I′m never gonna kneel, no way

My prophet is Heaven sent

No preacher or president can lead I astray

They'll never know

I′m taking Jah highway home

Oh, I've got my own path to follow

Don′t know if you'll overstand

I′ve got my, my, my own truth to swallow

And you know that if I could

You know I would throw my guitar on my back

Pick up the slack, and leave here tomorrow

But I know that I am a pawn of Babylon

I got to face the facts, embrace the ax

And cut these chains off my sorrow

So I'm on a permanent holiday

I'm going outside to play

I ain′t gonna slave away, no

Not for no corporate babylon

I′m never gonna be a pawn

In their manipulation games

Ten thousand years of captivity

We must eventually open up our eyes and see

They're manipulating we with so much uncertainty

And so many mysteries

Why are so few questioning the unnatural state of things?

It′s a nightmare

We're living in a nightmar

Everyone′s living so scared

They're virtually unaware

Of this fear that rules their lives

Occupies, consumes their minds

This fear of bankruptcy

Financial impotancy

It′s funny money, money, money

It's all this digital currency, woah, yeah

It's all this monopoly money

That keeps us from ever being free, ooh-oh-yaeh

And so it seems we′ll be in this prison for life

′Cause if we keep buying then they'll keep selling the lie

So it′s up to I and I

I... nip..., mind... and...

I... Rev..., make... cel...

I... change... man... words...

I... be...

I... own...

I... (be) nip...(late), mind... and...

I... (seek) Rev... (lation), make... (life) cel... (bration)

I... (be) change... (seeking) man... (fast) words... (speak)

I... (fuse) be... (prisioned)

I... (make) own... (cisions)

I (won't be) manip... (ulated), mind (controlled) and in... (undated)

I (will seek) the reve... (lation), make (my life) a cele... (bration)

I (will be) the change (I′m seeking), mani... (fest) the words (I'm speaking)

I (refuse) to be (imprisoned) I (will make) my own (decisions)

Oh, Lord

I won′t be manipulated

Mind-controlled and inundated

I will seek the revelation

Make my life a celebration

I'm gonna be the change I'm seeking

Manifest the words I′m speaking

I refuse to be imprisoned

I will make my own decisions

I′m on a permanent holiday

I'm going outside to play

I ain′t gonna slave away, no

Not for no corporate babylon

I'm never gonna be a pawn

In their manipulation games

Oh Lord, I′m taking the reins

I'm breaking the chains

I′m never gonna kneel, no way

My prophet is Heaven sent

No preacher or president can lead I astray

We'll never know

I'm taking Jah highway home

Ooh, I′ll never go astray with na-na-na...

I′m leaving the past

And forwarding fast

'Cause freedom is here to stay

Oh, Lord we got to take back the knowledge

We got to take back the power

We got to take back the knowledge

We got to take back the power, oh-yeah

We got to take back the knowledge

To take back the power

Take back what they have stolen from our hearts

And we got to take back the esoteric knowledge

Oh, Lord for too long they′ve been keeping us apart

Oh yes, we got to take back the knowledge

Take back the power

Humanity don't let this be our final hour

Take back the knowledge

Take back the power

Humanity don′t let this be our final hour

We got to take back the knowledge

Take back the power

Humanity don't let this be our final hour

Take back the knowledge

Take back the power

Humanity don′t let this be our final hour
