Round Up

when you hear the march of the drum

you know they're gonna blot out the sun

when you hear the marching drum

you know your time soon come

hammer coming down fast

flag is flaying full mast

shield your eyes from the blast

you know it won't be the last

it's a round-up it's a round up

riffle butts through the door

then you're kicked to the floor

headlines screaming for more

now you're a prisoner of war in the round-up it's a round up

this is a count-down to the crackdown

time to take a little trip downtown (it's a round up)

get in the lineup there ain't no let up

this is a bona fide a government stick up(it's a round-up)

from the fit up straight to the lock up

through the touchup and the drug up to the rough up it's just start up

so watch it speed up it ain't enogh to just put-up and shut-up DIS IS A ROUND-UP

shining boots of leather

mind at the end of the tether charges cobbled together

the sentence is forever it's a round up it's a round up

stone floor for a bed with a hood on the head helicopters overhead maybe i'm already dead

it's a round up this is a round up

when you hear dem march of the drum you know they're gonna blot out the sun

when you hear the marching drum you know your time soon come

your time soon come

dem come for de rasta and you say nothing

dem come from the muslims you say nothing

dem come for the anti-globalist you ay nothing

dem even come for the liberals and you say nothing

dem come for you and will speak for you? who will speak for you

this is countdown to the crackdown time to take a little trip downtown (it's a round up)

get in the lineup there ain't no let-up this bona fide government stic up (it's a round up)

from the fit straigh to the lock-up through the touchup and the drug up to the rhough

it's just a start up so watch it speed up it ain't enough to just put-up and shut-up

DIS IS A ROUND-UP
