1.All I Want To Do
Chorus
I don't like the work but true i need the money
My life is like a joke but to me is isn't funny
People all around, telling me what to do
And all I want to do is stay at home with you
Time after time I say to myself
Working all my life isn't good for my health
Get old, get tired, get put on the shelf
I do all the work, someone else gets all the wealth
Wish I was on an island in the sun
Where I wouldn't have to worry how to get things done
Chorus
I don't like the work but true i need the money
My life is like a joke but to me is isn't funny
People all around, telling me what to do
And all I want to do is stay at home with you
Day after day becomes more of a grind
Bills pile up, moneys harder to find
Trying to get ahead money's harder to find
If I don't give it up I'm gonna lose my mind
Wish I was on an Island in the sun
Where I wouldn't have to worry how to get things done
Chorus
I don't like the work but true i need the money
My life is like a joke but to me is isn't funny
People all around, telling me what to do
And all I want to do is stay at home with you
2.Don't Blame Me
I think its only fair to say
We'd welcome riches down our way
No stigma knotted in my hair
I want to be a millionaire
Nevertheless I must insist
A thought is spared for those who missed
The handouts when it came to wealth
To education and good health
The time has come now all can see
As seeing this is killing me
our future victim to command
Together we can lend a hand
Chorus
So don't blame me for wanting more
The facts are too hard too ignore
I'm scared to death of poverty
I only want whats best for me
But even so I'm holding on
I think the world can live as one
If only credence took the lead
The world would see a world to feed
An endless sea of blood that's spilt
Enough to sail an ark of guilt
And when we lend our helping hand
We'll have our green and pleasant land
3.Rat In Mi Kitchen
Lyricist:Jim Brown, Ali Campbell, Robin Campbell, Earl Falconer,
Norman Hassan, Brian Travers, Michael Virtue, Terrence Wilson
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
When you open your mouth you don't talk, you shout
And you give everybody the blame
When they catch you up they will shut you up
And you got no one to blame
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
When you out on the street, you practice lies and deceit
And you scandalize my name
When I catch you up, I'm gonna pull you up
I'm gonna check-out inside your brain
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
When you deh pon the scene, you make everyone scream
Because they know you're so unjust
When they catch you up, they will kick you up
Because you're someone they can't trust
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat

4.Sing Our Own Song
Lyricist:James Stephen Brown, Ali Campbell, Robin Campbell, Earl
Falconer, Norman Lamount Hassan, Brian David Travers, Michael
Anthony Virtue, Terrence Oswald Wilson
The great flood of tears that we've cried
For our brothers and sisters who've died
Over four hundred years has washed away our fears
And strengthened our pride, now we turn back the tide
We will no longer hear your command
We will seize the control from your hand
We will fan the flame of our anger and pain
And you'll feel the shame for what you do in God's name
We will fight for the right to be free
And we will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
When the ancient drum rhythms ring
The voice of our forefathers sings
Forward Africa run our day of freedom has come
For me and for you Amandla Awethu
We will fight for the right to be free
And we will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
And we will fight for the right to be free
We will build our own society
We will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
And we will fight for the right to be free
And we will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
And we will fight for the right to be free
And we will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
And we will fight for the right to be free
And we will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
And we will fight for the right to be free
And we will build our own society
5.Tell It Like It Is
Chorus

Fire live ammunition me seh into a crowd
If that's not blatant murder
Then murder can't be found Repeat
Repeat Chorus
6.Watchdogs
Lyricist:James Stephen Brown, Ali Campbell, Robin Campbell, Earl
Falconer, Norman Lamount Hassan, Brian David Travers, Michael
Anthony Virtue, Terrence Oswald Wilson
You try to close your ears
And you try to close your eyes
But the blasphemies keep coming
Tempting you with lies
Give thanks for your protection
Your watchdogs of the night
Who hold the hungry wolves at bay
And keep them out of sight, out of sight
You just don't understand it
But it strikes a distant chord
So you look for a way of escaping
And sanity's restored
Give thanks for your protection
Your watchdogs of the night
Who hold the hungry wolves at bay
And keep them out of sight, out of sight
You focus your direction
Cloak tightly pulled around
But somewhere in the distance
You can hear a haunting sound
Give thanks for your protection
Your watchdogs of the night
Who hold the hungry wolves at bay
And keep them out of sight, out of sight
Give thanks for your protection
Your watchdogs of the night
Who hold the hungry wolves at bay
And keep them out of sight, out of sight
You're in danger of corruption
And you're always running scared
You cannot make decisions
You're completely unprepared
Give thanks for your protection
Your watchdogs of the night
Who hold the hungry wolves at bay
And keep them out of sight, out of sight
7.Don't Break My Heart
Lyricist:Paul Raymond Brown, Larry Carlton, Rex Rideout
You shoot me down in flames
You put me down a lot
I'm givin' you my heart, go an' take it
Please be careful not to break it
Just remember it's the only one I've got
It's the only one I've got
Don't break my heart?
Don't break my heart?
(Uhh)
Don't break my heart?
You make me laugh a lot and buy me silly things
And I'd rather be with you than anyone else
But if you make me mad
But if you make me mad
You'll wish that you had not
You'll wish that you had not
Don't break my heart?
Don't break my heart?
Don't break my heart?
Don't break my heart?
Where are the roses and whispered sighs?
Where are the compliments and dreamin' eyes?
It doesn't matter you see, I know you love me
Real basic love never dies
Ohh
Don't break my heart?
Don't break my heart?
Don't break my heart?
Where are the roses and whispered sighs?
(Don't break my heart)
Where are the compliments and dreaming eyes?
(Don't break my heart)
It doesn't matter you see, I know you love me
Real basic love never dies
Don't break my heart?
Don't break my heart?
Don't break my heart?

8.I Got You Babe
Lyricist:Sonny Bono
They say we're young and we don't know
Won't find out until we grow
Well I don't know baby that's true
'Cause you got me and baby I got you
Baby, I got you babe, I got you babe
They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned our money's always spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a lot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got
Baby, I got you babe, I got you babe
I got flowers in the spring, I got you, to wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And when I get scared you're always around
So let them say your hair's too long
I don't care, with you I can't do wrong
And put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
Baby, I got you babe, I got you babe, I got you babe
I got you to hold my hand, I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me, I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight, I got you to hold me tight
I got you I won't let go, I got you to love me so
I got you, babe
I got you, babe, I got you, babe, I got you, babe
I got you, babe, I got you, babe, I got you, babe
I got you, babe, I got you, babe, I got you, babe
I got you, babe, I got you, babe, I got you, babe
