See them coming, plain in clothes, plain in clothes.
Don't give up, don't give up,
The Roman soldiers of Babylon, are here to fight us.
Don't give up, don't give up,
The Roman soldiers of Babylon are right behind us.
Comin' from the North with their pockets full of ammunition,
Tryin' to turn dreadlocks into politician.
Marcus Garvey did say:
"Things like this would happen in this time."
Oh yes!
So don't give up, don't give up,
The Roman soldiers of Babylon, are here to fight us.
See dem comin'!
So don't give up, don't give up,
The Roman soldiers of Babylon are here to fight us.
Look out!
They're in plain clothes!
They're comin' to fight Rastafari..
But they can't beat the wisdom, of Selassie I.
Rastafari! Rastfari will blow, will blow them away.
Rastafari will blow them away.
