[Em] Speed fire like dragon, [C] thinking them can escape, the [Am] works of William [G] Gordon.
[Em] Speed fire as judos come, [C] thinking them can write on, [Am] the words of Marcus [G] Garvey.
And they were filling up [Em] our heads, with visions, while it's [C] our souls, on which they bargain.
[Em] Live as they are, live blind as they are, blind [G] will never know who's [Am] there.
And for this year prize, we shall [F] give our lives, [C] who's there?
And they just [Dm] see them riding to the [C] wall, gone so [Dm] long they call her to the [C] wall.
Son I'm here for [Dm] you, they drag them to me [C] now.
One day we're [Em] all standing at the foot of the [Dm] mountain, [G] we try [Am] to run, they won't [G] catch us, [Am] we run.
[Dm] The [G] man from [C] the secret town show, is an [Am] old shandy, old [G] rasta [Am] old shandy.
[Dm] Still [G] they come to the [Am] secret town show, gone mad slow, just a string in the puppet show.

[Em] Speed fire as judos come, [C] thinking them can write on, the [Am] words of Bantu [G] Biko.
And they were filling [Em] up our heads, with visions, while [C] it's our souls, on which they bargain.
[E] And the [Em] crisis save my life, fate is stay my fight, we'll [G] never [Am] know who's there.
And for this [G] year prize, we shall [F] give our lives,
[C] who's there?
And they just [Dm] see them riding to the [C] wall, conquered us [Dm] so long they hold their head up [C] high.
As they play [Dm] on the poor and juvenile, [C] one day we're [Em] all standing at the foot of the [Dm] mountain,
[G] we try [Am] to run, they won't [G] catch us, [Am] we run.
[Dm] The [G] man from [Em] the secret [Am] town show, is an old shandy, old [G] rasta [Am] old shandy.
[Dm] Still [G] they come to the secret town show, master say, shanty town shanty town, we'll never know.
