Bunny Wailer - The Oppressed Song lyrics

The man oppressed will seem to do the worst. But with all he possesses self preservation comes first His damnation comes from not burning free As destruction of the poor is their poverty, is their poverty While oppression is the poor man's choice Ah, but in this he does rejoice His burdens though heavy, he somehow bears As for his seed, there's only one who cares There's only one who cares Though his pilgrimage extends, his progresses ascends But as the prudent one exalts, he is gonna find his faults But as the wise man sees, he knows, he knows There's no rest in the west, so to the east he goes, to the east he goes Where he can find peace of mind, oh
