"Jah War" lyrics - THE RUTS

THE RUTS
"Jah War"
(Paul Fox / John "Segs" Jennings / Malcolm Owen / Dave Ruffy)

The air was thick with a smell of oppression
The militants joined with angry position
The tension tight with the strain of repression
Young blood boiling hot with agression

Jah war fighting fighting
Jah war, too close frightening

The winds were blowing and stirring up reaction
A storm broke out a militant action
Hot heads came in uniform
Thunder and lightning in a violent form

Jah war fighting fighting
Jah war, too close frightening

[Solo]

Jah war fighting fighting
Jah war, too close frightening

The air etc

Jah war fighting fighting
Jah war, too close frightening

Fighting fighting Jah war
Too close frightening jah War
Fighting fighting Jah war
Too close frightening jah War

Clarence Baker
No trouble maker
Said the truncheon came down
Knocked him to the ground
See the blood on the streets that day
The blood and the madness
See the blood on the streets that day
...Hey

Fighting fighting Jah war
Fighting fighting Jah war
Fighting fighting Jah war
Fighting fighting Jah war
