I want to be ready
I want to be ready
I want to be ready Lord
Walking to Babylon with my gun

1) Brother Rasta is dead
Listen every body says:
They shot Brothers Rasta Dead!
Braggin Boys in blue
They shot him through
So tonight´s the night
We´re gonna have a big fight
They got the power, we got the right

2) Now it´s my turn
I´m gonna take my gun
And walk to Babylon
Like a million
"They gonna kill you, son!", "Don´t worry Mum"
Along my country way I´m gonna shout and say
"They shot Brother Rasta Dead"

Rudy left for the City
But three days later
Washed back by the Tide
Mum found his body on the Riverback
