"Long Way Down" lyrics
Mike Love & Naya Rockers Lyrics
Ohh whoa whoa whoa
Ahh ahhh
How do you feed that poison to the people
And turn around and smile
I can tell by that dead look in your cold eyes
You've been doing this a while
What makes you think you can enslave Jah children
Did God give you the right
I just can't help but scratch my head and wonder
How do you sleep at night
Ohhh yea, oh no
Because when I turn on the television
Sometimes I just can't believe my eyes
So I'm making a decision
And it should come as no surprise
That I'm planting seeds, I'm growing trees
Organic and pure
Because if everything is synthesized
There will be no cure
We've been building up this empire now
For a thousand years
Controlling all the masses
With division and fear
It's a long way down to the bottom (It's a long way)
You might not notice when you're floating on the top (ooh ooh)
It's a long way down to the bottom (It's a long way)
You know it when you feel that bubble pop
It's a long way down to the bottom (It's a long way)
You might not see it while you're counting all your goals (ooh ooh)
It's a long way down to the bottom (It's a long way)
When all that money isn't gonna save your soul
No no no no no
Look hear now
They're just robbers and thieves
Whoy
Go to jail
Pirates of a modern age
They make you do the work for them
Then give themselves a raise
They're just
Pirates of a modern age
They'll break your back then charge you tax
On every cent you made
Oh they're
Pirates of a modern age
They 'll feed you fat then tell that you are healthy and slim
Got it
Pirates of a modern age
They'll make you ill then sell you pills, call it medicine
Whoy
Whoa oh whoa (whoa oh whoa)
Ayy
Ahh ahhh
Ayy
It's a long way down to the bottom (It's a long way)
You might not notice when you're floating on the top (ooh ooh)
It's a long way down at the bottom (It's a long way)
You know it when you feel that pressure drop
It's a long way down to the bottom (It's a long way)
You might not see it while you're counting all your goals (ooh ooh)
It's a long way down to the bottom (It's a long way)
When all that money isn't gonna save your soul
Ohhh whoa
All that money isn't gonna save your soul
Still your counting all your silver
Still your counting all your silver and gold...
Ahh ahhh
How do you feed that poison to the people
And turn around and smile
I can tell by that dead look in your cold eyes
You've been doing this a while
What makes you think you can enslave Jah children
Did God give you the right
I just can't help but scratch my head and wonder
How do you sleep at night
Ohhh yea, oh no
Because when I turn on the television
Sometimes I just can't believe my eyes
So I'm making a decision
And it should come as no surprise
That I'm planting seeds, I'm growing trees

Because if everything is synthesized
There will be no cure
We've been building up this empire now

It's a long way down to the bottom (It's a long way)
You might not notice when you're floating on the top (ooh ooh)
It's a long way down to the bottom (It's a long way)
You know it when you feel that bubble pop
It's a long way down to the bottom (It's a long way)
You might not see it while you're counting all your goals (ooh ooh)
It's a long way down to the bottom (It's a long way)

Still your counting all your silver and gold...
