Jah Tung - Indigenous Government feat. Pressure Busspipe [Lyric Video]
Lyrics by Jah Tung & Pressure Busspipe, Music by Jah Tung

Available everywhere: https://bfan.link/indigenous-government

Indigenous Government is a response of protest to police brutality and injustice toward the Indigenous population and so-called minority communities. As the infamous Bob Marley has said, "Every Government upon the face of the Earth today is illegal."

"My self-produced album, Digital Degeneration, was born from my realisation that, rather than running from the digital sound I was limited to, by means of my recording equipment and software, I should embrace the abilities of the digital tools and simply balance it with a few analogue recordings and samples where necessary."

Indigenous Government lyrics:

INTRO:
When di trumpet sound
It's Pressure Busspipe
Jah Tung!

CHORUS:
Worldwide revolution
Can’t hide behind illusion
Feels like we’ve seen this happen before
Worldwide revolution
We rewrite di constitution
This time we nah go take it no more

VERSE 1:
Seem everyday’s the same
Same headline with a different name
Same system weh ya take di blame
But me never say dem a responsible
Time after time dem a show no shame
No remorse for di hurt and pain
Me tired ya fi sing the same old refrain
But right deh now rejoicing impossible

CHORUS:
Worldwide revolution
Can’t hide behind illusion
Feels like we’ve seen this happen before
Worldwide revolution
We rewrite di constitution
This time we nah go take it no more

VERSE 2:
Preying on di innocent
Cold blooded murderer don’t repent
Badge, uniform with a gun 'pon belt
But enough is enough
So we want an indigenous government
What could’a dem defend?
And are we really in a commonwealth?
See how dem live up inna opulence
While we struggle fi a twenty cents

CHORUS:
Worldwide revolution
Can’t hide behind illusion
Feels like we’ve seen this happen before
Worldwide revolution
We rewrite di constitution
This time we nah go take it no more

VERSE 3: (Pressure Busspipe)
Babylon a give we a fight
The Aboriginal people must haffi strive
Emperor Selassie I, H.I.M govern the heights
Pressure Busspipe defend the human rights
Some no have no vision, yet them carry eye sight
Revolution kick off, warriors inite
Burn dem with di fire, me no business who like
Spread your propaganda 'pon your radio satellite
Never out and it nah cease, nah settle
Wicked Babylon a play Heckle and Jeckle
Dem a throw stone, when me check seh it's a pebble
Everything nah level, when di youths no comfortable
Hotter than di water inna di kettle
Wicked Babylon you can't sink my vessel
Emperor Selassie I put foot 'pon di missile
Wicked Babylon your head chisel, that's why

CHORUS:
This is a worldwide revolution
Can’t hide behind illusion
Feels like we’ve seen this happen before
Worldwide revolution
We rewrite di constitution
We can't take it no more

OUTRO:
Well this is Jah Tung alongside Pressure Busspipe
Sending Raspect to all First Nations peoples
No matter which part you there
One Heart!
