Letting off steam


De sisters on the corner
Letting off steam
De mothers and the fathers
De unemployed and the workers

Some of dem a shout murder
Ina Kingston, Jamaica
Ina Buenos Aires, Argentina
Cause when the pressure get hot

And theres nowhere to go
Sometimes you got to rock
Or your fuse will blow
Cause when the pressure start rise

And you have a heavy load
You got to do it dubwise
Or you just explode
De doctors and the nurse dem

Letting off steam
To stop things getting worse dem
De driver and de passengers
De styleheads and de rastas

Ina Addis Abbaba
Letting off steam, yes man !
All the militant brothers there
High class ladies
Even unborn babies.
