Burning Spear – Throw Down Your Arms

Lyrics

Throw down your arms and come
Throw down your arms and come
Throw down your arms and come

Two of us have a little fuss
Everything you draw your ‘lass
Everything you run fe your gun
Everything you fling rock stone
Hear this

Throw down your arms and come
Throw down your arms and come
Throw down your arms and come
Drop them

(..)

A no ignorance do it
A no brute force do it
Your weapons can’t do it
So, so

Throw down your arms and come
Throw down your arms and come
Throw down your arms and come
Drop them
Put them away
To stay

(..)

As Earth was formed
My old great-grandmother, mother, mother, mother
She was formed
She usually say
Children, children, children, children, children
Please obey
Please obey
Hear this

Throw down your arms and come
Throw down your arms and come
Throw down your arms and come
Put them away
Put them away
Will you put them away
Better put them away
Put them away

Throw down your arms and come!
Throw down your arms and come!
(Throw down your arms and come)
(Throw down your arms and come)
I long to see you
(Throw down your arms and come)
I long to reason with you
I long to hold your hands in my hand
Can’t you see?
(Throw down your arms and come)
Can’t you see?
(Throw down your arms and come)
Throw down your arms!
(Throw down your arms and come)
Throw, throw, throw down your arms!
(Throw down your arms and come)
Throw them down
(Throw down your arms and come..)
