Protest Song of the day...Toronto People's Summit

So much things to Say Bob Marley
They got so much things to say right now;
They got so much things to say.
They got so much things to say right now;
They got so much things to say.

Eh! But I'll never forget no way: they crucified Je-sus Christ;
I'll never forget no way: they sold Marcus Garvey for rice.
Oo-ooh!
I'll never forget no way: they turned their back on Paul Bogle.
Hey-ey!
So don't you forget (no way) no, youth,
who you are and where you stand in the struggle.

They go so very, so very, so very, so very, so very, so very,
so very, so very, so very, so very, so very -
everything they say - so much to say.
They got so much things to say, so much things to say.


I'n'I no come to fight flesh and blood,
But spiritual wickedness in high and low places
.
So while they fight you down,
Stand firm and give Jah thanks and praises.
'Cos I'n'I no expect to be justified
by the laws of men - by the laws of men.
Oh, though they have found me guilty,
Truth shall prove my innocency.

Oh, when the rain fall, fall, fall down,
It don't fall on one man's housetop. Remember that:
When the rain fall,
It don't fall on one man's housetop.

They singin': so very much, so very much, oh so very much,
so very, very -
They got so much things to say right now;
yeah, they got so much things to say.

So much things to say, rumour about,
they got the rumour without the humour,
they don't know what they're doin', yeah.
