Dem Dey Go

Once upon a time

Some people come together

Made a plan, took a chance

Agreement between one another

Dem dey go, dem dey go, dem dey go

Dem dey fight, dem dey quarrel, dem dey go

One silly, the other sneaky, the other sleazy

I tell them if dem no wan gree make dem scatter

Go their separate ways

We are born

And then we're gone

Nobody lives forever

It's alright and then it's not

Freedom is a kind of prison

Dem dey go, dem dey go, dem dey go

Dem dey fight, dem dey quarrel, dem dey go

One silly, the other sneaky, the other sleazy

I tell them if dem no wan gree make dem scatter

Go their separate ways

I can see the future, oh I can see

Where the people see what the people need

I have a dream oh, I have a dream

To see the people free from the pain within

Dem dey go, dem dey go, dem dey go

Dem dey fight, dem dey quarrel, dem dey go

One silly, the other needy, the other greedy

I tell them if dem no wan gree make dem scatter

Go their separate ways
