Trench Town
Up a Cane river to wash my dread
Upon a rock I rest my head
There I vision through the seas of oppression, oh-whoa!
Don't make my life a prison
We come from Trench Town (Trench Town)
Most of them come from Trench Town
We free the people with music (sweet music)
Can we free the people with music? (Sweet music)
Can we free our people with music, with music?
With music, oh music? (Oh music)
Whoa my head
In desolate places we'll find our bread
And everyone see what's taking place
Whoa-oh, another page in history
We come from Trench Town (Trench Town)
We come from Trench Town (Trench Town)
We come from Trench Town (Trench Town)
Lord we free the people with music (sweet music)
We free the people with music (sweet music)
We free our people with music with music
With music, oh music (oh music)
They say it's hard to speak
They feel so strong to say wa're weak
But through the eyes the love of our people, oh-whoa!
They've got to repay
We come from Trench Town (Trench Town)
We come from (Trench Town) Trench Town
They say, "Can anything good come out of Trench Town?" (Trench, Trench Town)
That's what they say, (Trench Town) (Trench, Trench Town)
Say (Trench, Trench Town) we're the underprivileged people
So (Trench Town) they keep us in chains
"Pay (Trench, Trench Town), pay, pay tribute to" (Trench Town)
We come from (Trench, Trench Town)
We come from (Trench, Trench Town)
Just because we come from Trench Town
Not because we come from Trench Town
Just because we come from (Trench Town)
Upon a rock I rest my head
There I vision through the seas of oppression, oh-whoa!
Don't make my life a prison
We come from Trench Town (Trench Town)
Most of them come from Trench Town
We free the people with music (sweet music)
Can we free the people with music? (Sweet music)
Can we free our people with music, with music?
With music, oh music? (Oh music)
Whoa my head
In desolate places we'll find our bread
And everyone see what's taking place
Whoa-oh, another page in history
We come from Trench Town (Trench Town)
We come from Trench Town (Trench Town)
We come from Trench Town (Trench Town)
Lord we free the people with music (sweet music)
We free the people with music (sweet music)
We free our people with music with music
With music, oh music (oh music)
They say it's hard to speak
They feel so strong to say wa're weak
But through the eyes the love of our people, oh-whoa!
They've got to repay
We come from Trench Town (Trench Town)
We come from (Trench Town) Trench Town
They say, "Can anything good come out of Trench Town?" (Trench, Trench Town)
That's what they say, (Trench Town) (Trench, Trench Town)
Say (Trench, Trench Town) we're the underprivileged people
So (Trench Town) they keep us in chains
"Pay (Trench, Trench Town), pay, pay tribute to" (Trench Town)
We come from (Trench, Trench Town)
We come from (Trench, Trench Town)
Just because we come from Trench Town
Not because we come from Trench Town
Just because we come from (Trench Town)
