ambush in the night

Singer: bob marley

see them fighting for power

but they know not the hour

;

so they bribing with their guns

spare-parts and money

trying to belittle our

integrity now. they say what we know

is just what they teach us;

and we're so ignorant

'cause every time they can reach us

through political strategy ;

they keep us hungry

and when you gonna get some food

your brother got to be your enemy

we-e-ell!

ambush in the night

all guns aiming at me;

ambush in the night

they opened fire on me now. ambush in the night

protected by his majesty. ooh-wee

ooh-wee. ooh-wa-ooh!

ooh-wee

ooh-wee

ooh-wa!

ooh-wee

ooh-wee

ooh wa-ooh!

ooh-wee

ooh-wee

ooh wa-ah!

well

what we know

is not what they tell us;

we're not ignorant

i mean it

and they just cannot touch us;

through the powers of the most-i

we keep on surfacin' ;

thru the powers of the most-i

we keep on survivin'. yeah

this ambush in the night

planned by society;

ambush in the night;

they tryin' to conquer me;

ambush in the night

anyt'ing money can bring;

ambush in the night

planned by society;
