Downpressor Man

(I ask you not to mindlessly read these lyrics, Absorb and comprehend the Message as it is the most important part of this song by Peter Tosh)

Downpressor man, where you gonna run to?
Downpressor man, where you gonna run to?
Downpressor man, where you gonna run to?
All along that day...

You gonna run to the sea, but the sea will be boiling...
When you run to the sea, the sea will be boiling...
When you run to the sea, the sea will be boiling...
All along that day...

You gonna run to the rocks, the rocks will be melting...
When you gonna run to the rocks, the poor rocks will be melting...
When you run to the rocks, the rocks will be melting...
I said, all along that day...

So I said, Downpressor man, where you gonna run to?
I said, Downpressor man, where you gonna run to?
I said, Downpressor man, where you gonna run to?
All along that day...

You drink your big champagne & laugh, hahahahaha...
You drink your big champagne & laugh, hahahahaha...
You drink your big champagne & laugh, haha...
All along that day...

I wouldn't like to be a flea, under your collar man...
I wouldn't like to be a flea, under your collar man...
I wouldn't like to be a flea, under your collar...
All along that day...

You can run, but you can't hide...
You can run, but you can't hide...
You can run, but you can't hide...
Telling you, all along that day...

You gonna run to the Lord, begging him to hide you...
You gonna run to the Lord, begging him to hide you...
You gonna run to JAH, begging him to hide you...
All, all along the day...

And I say, Downpressor man...
where you gonna run to?
where you gonna run to?
Downpressor man...
where you gonna run to?
(Downpressor man)
I said all along, along that day

(downpressor man)
Downpressor man
Downpressor man
Downpressor man
Downpressor man
Where
Downpressor man
Where you gonna run to?
Downpressor man
I don't know, where you gonna run to?
All along that day
Downpressor man
You can't run
You can't bribe JAH JAH

Can't call him, in a bar...
... drink some ....
Can't bribe him around the corner
can't ....

Downpressor man, Lord
Downpressor man
I said, Downpressor man
Don't run
Downpressor man
Where you gonna run to?

Downpressor man

You can't bribe no one...
Them no want the money
.... money
'Cause money gets funny
Downpressor man
