"You know, it's not easy, it's not very easy.  Because, to some people belly-full, you know, them protest for the system, they will fight for the system, because, them cool, them belly-full
but you have others that -- a lot of hungry people, where, them could have full them."

-  Bob Marley, circa 1970 about bringing about change in the system of control and privilege

Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
             
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look? Ooh
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fullfil the book
