80,000 Careless Ethiopians Songtext
von Inner Circle

Idren and sistren
sight up Jah Ras
Jah Rastafari!
Even the childs on their mothers' breasts
Are sightin' up, are sightin' up Jah Rastafari

, careless Ethiopians
shall go down in Babylon
, careless Ethiopians
shall go down in Babylon

Many are called but few shall be chosen
to go to Mount Zion
Many are called but few shall be chosen
to go to Mount Zion

And it came to pass
in the eleventh year
In the first month
of the seventh day
The words of Jah came to us, saying
I shall say unto the north: "Give up!"


And to the south
"Keep not back!"
Send the chosen sons from afar
And his daughters from the ends of the earth

, careless Ethiopians
shall go down in Babylon
, careless Ethiopians
shall go down in Babylon

Many are called but few shall be chosen
to go to Mount Zion
Many are called but few shall be chosen
to go to Mount Zion

A living God
, shall gather
Oh, O the my God
Jah Almighty living God

And it came to pass
in the eleventh year
In the first month
of the seventh day
The words of Jah came to us, saying
I shall say unto the north: "Give up!"


And to the south
"Keep not back!"
Send the chosen sons from afar
And his daughters from the ends of the earth

, careless Ethiopians
shall go down in Babylon
, careless Ethiopians
shall go down in Babylon

Many are called but few shall be chosen
to go to Mount Zion
Many are called but few shall be chosen
to go to Mount Zion

Oh, all the licks that I have received
I feel it all over me
Even the blind cannot see - it's feeling the pressure from Babylon

Oh, I am feeling all the pain
from Babylon licks that I have received all over
Their faces so ugly -
O Jah, O Jah, O Jah
