Four Hundred Years Songtext
von Peter Tosh

400 years (400 years, 400 years. Wo-o-o-o)
And it′s the same -
The same (wo-o-o-o) philosophy
I've said it′s four hundred years;
(400 years, 400 years. Wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o)
Look, how long (wo-o-o-o)
And the people they (wo-o-o-o) still can't see.
Why do they fight against the poor youth of today?
And without these youths, they would be gone -
All gone astray


Come on, let's make a move:
(Make a move, make a move. Wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o)
I can (wo-o-o-o) see time (wo-o-o-o) - time has come,
And if-a fools don′t see
(Fools don′t see, fools don't see. Wo-o-o-o)
I can′t save the youth:
The youth (wo-o-o-o) is gonna be strong.
So, won't you come with me;
I′ll take you to a land of liberty
Where we can live - live a good, good life
And be free.

Look how long: 400 years, (400 years, 400 years) -
Way too long! (wo-o-o-o)
That's the reason my people (wo-o-o-o) - my people can′t see.
Said, it's four hundred long years - (400 years, 400 years. Wo-o-o-o)
Give me patience (wo-o-o-o) - same philosophy.
It's been 400 years, (400 years, 400 years)
Wait so long! Wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o.
How long? 400 long, long years.
