Sorrow, Tears, and Blood by Fela Kuti

Eh! Ah!

Everybody run, run, run - Everybody scatter, scatter

Some people lost some bread -Someone nearly die

Someone just die - Police dey come, army dey come

Confusion everywhere -Eh! Ah!

Seven minutes later - All don cool down, brother

Police don go away- Army don disappear

Them leave sorrow, tears and blood - (Them regular trademark!)

Them leave sorrow, tears and blood - (Them regular trademark!)

Them regular trademark - (Them regular trademark!)

Eh! Ah! Everybody run, run, run

My people self dey fear too much

We fear for the thing we no see

We fear for the air around us

We fear to fight for freedom

We fear to fight for liberty

We fear to fight for justice

We fear to fight for happiness

We always get reason to fear

We no want die

We no want wound

We no want quench

We no want go

I want build house
