Them Dey Go

Once upon a time
Some people come together
Made a plan, took a chance
Agreements between one another

Dem dey go, dem dey go, dem dey go
Dem de fight, dem de quarrel, dem dey go
One silly, the other sneaky, the other sleazy
I tell them if them no wan gree make dem scatter
Go their separate ways

We are born and then we're gone
Nobody lives forever
It's alright and then it's not
Freedom is a kind of prison

Dem dey go, dem dey go, dem dey go
Dem de fight, dem de quarrel, dem dey go
One silly, the other sneaky, the other sleazy
I tell them if them no angry make dem scatter
Go their separate ways

I can see the future, oh I can see
Where the people see what the people need
I have a dream, oh, I have a dream
To see the people free from the pain within

Dem dey go, dem dey go, dem dey go
Dem de fight, dem de quarrel, dem dey go
One silly, the other needy, the other greedy
I tell them if them no hungry make dem scatter
Go their separate ways
