Situation Crazy

Pato Banton + Peter Spence

Album: Wize Up! (No Compromize)

In this time the leaders of the world fight each other
with sanctions and nuclear weapons.
There are mountains made of butter and grain
and yet people are starving.
Man has drained all resources
from this God's living planet
and now he wants to live on the moon.
Situation crazy.

Situation crazy, crazy, crazy.
Situation crazy, crazy, crazy.
Oh Lord! Have mercy, mercy, mercy.
Situation crazy, crazy, crazy.

Don't turn your back on the problems
come together we will surely solve them
if we all unite then we can face the fight.
There's a black, a white and a yellow man
and on this planet there's more than enough land
if we all unite then we can face the fight.

In this crazy, crazy world
surely one day we will learn
so don't be afraid
when the right time comes
we've got to face the fight.
In this crazy, crazy world
surely one day we will learn
so don't be afraid
when the right time comes
we've got to face the fight.

Situation crazy, crazy, crazy.
Situation crazy, crazy, crazy.
Oh Lord! Have mercy, mercy, mercy.
Situation crazy, crazy, crazy.

To every human being this is a special dedication
from this conscious loving M. C.
by the name of Pato Banton. Gwarn!
From the school of life me get my education
man me put it into words
and then me chat it pon the version.
Would a write it raggamuffin if I was a Jamaican
heng peng teng fung if I was from Hong Kong.
But due to history and lot of sufferation
and the scattering of the african nation
slavery, liberation, independence and migration
I chat it like this cause I ended up in England.
Anyway let me get back to this little conversation
and tell you about this crazy, crazy, crazy situation.

Crazy, crazy world
surely one day we will learn
so don't be afraid
when the right time comes
then we can face the fight.
In this crazy, crazy world
surely one day we will learn
so don't be afraid
when the right time comes
then we can face the fight.

You must remember God's little children
come tomorrow they will ask the questions
if we all unite then we can face the fight.
Throw away prejudice and segregation
and live together as a multi-colored nation
if we all unite then we can face the fight.

In this crazy, crazy world
surely one day we will learn
don't be afraid
when the right time come
then we can face the fight.
In this crazy, crazy world
surely one day we will learn
don't be afraid
when the right time come
then we can face the fight.
