Melting Pot Lyrics - State Of Emergency - Steel Pulse

Runnings in the ghetto well hot 

CHORUS 

I know Babylon for a plot 

Runnings inna Earth well hot 

False rulers sit back and get fat 

Runnings inna yard well hot 

Can't get no food for the pot 

Runnings inna Earth well hot 

It come in like a melting pot 

I cant stop thinking 'bout South Africa 

Why do my people have to suffer? 

Racist regime nothing to offer 

Not even two pence in the coffer 

Women and babies under baton charge 

Informers, backsliders are all at large 

Stoning of churches even cemeteries 

We've been in turmoil for centuries 

There must be something we can do 

There must be a way we can get through 

There must be something we can do 

There must be a way we can get through 

CHORUS 

Runnings in the ghetto well hot 

I know Babylon for a plot 

Runnings inna Earth well hot 

False rulers sit back and get fat 

Runnings inna yard well hot 

Can't get no food for the pot 

Runnings inna Earth well hot 

It come in like a melting pot 

Can't get no food, feel restless 

Sometimes it seems so helpless 

Guns, bombs, dogs and batons 

We've had enough 

It seems the only solution is fight rough with tough 

Guns, bombs, dogs and batons 

We've had enough 

It seems the only solution is fight rough with tough 

There must be something we can do 

There must be a way we can get through 

There must be something we can do 

There must be a way we can get through 

CHORUS 

Runnings in the ghetto well hot 

I know Babylon for a plot 

Runnings inna Earth well hot 

False rulers sit back and get fat 

Runnings inna yard well hot 

Can't get no food for the pot 

Runnings inna Earth well hot 

It come in like a melting pot 

We know (I and I know) 

We know seh them done have a plot 

We know (yes we know) 

We know seh the Earth a run hot 

We know (I and I know) 

We know Babylon got a plot 

We know (yes we know) 

It come in like a melting plot
