Dutallee
Dutallee
And when soldiers came
Them say them come to make us tame
And from that day until now on, now on
We were jeered and laughed to scorn
Ire (before the soldiers came)
Things used to be nice, so nice now (before the soldiers came)
Things used to be ire (before the soldiers came)
Things used to be nice, so nice, so nice (before the soldiers came)
Our country them did enter, yeah
Troops trodding left right and centre everywhere
One moment at peace with nature
Now victims of a massacre, yeah, yeah
We got our spears
We got our shields
But their guns were greater
Prepare for a slaughter
Give I back I witch doctor
Give I back I black ruler
We no want no dictator, we no want no
We no want no tyrant on yah

Way down
Way down
Way down in Africa
Where the backra still rules day after day
The black man is suffering now far more
Than when he was a slave
Is there a need for war?
No
Peace my brethren, here them bawl
Bodies in mutilated condition
Faces scarred beyond recognition
Is this what civilization means to me?
Then without it I prefer to be
So
Give I back I witch doctor
Give I back I black ruler, give I back I
We no want no dictator, oh we no want no
Oh we no want no tyrant on yah

Dutallee (We want)
Dutallee (We crave for)
Dutallee
