Trench Town

(Scoop scoop scoop scoo-doo
Scoop scoop wa-doo)
Up a cane river to wash my dread
Upon a rock I rest my head
There I vision through the seas of oppression oh-oo-wo!
Don't make my life a prison.

We come from Trench Town Trench Town (Trenchtown) -
Most of them come from Trench Town
We free the people with music (sweet music)
Can we free the people with music (sweet music)?
Can we free our people with music? - With music
With music oh music!

Oh-y my head
In desolate places we'll find our bread
And everyone see what's taking place oh-oo-wo! -
Another page in history.

We come from Trench Town
Come from Trench Town
We come from Trench Town
Lord we free the people with music (sweet music)
We free the people with music (sweet music)
We free our people with music
With music oh music (oh music)!

They say it's hard to speak
They feel so strong to say we are weak
But through the eyes the love of our people oh-oo-wo!
They've got to repay.

We come from (Trenchtown) Trench Town
We come from (Trenchtown) Trench Town
Trench - Trench Town (Trenchtown)
They say "Can anything good come out of Trench Town?"
(Trench - Trenchtown)
That's what they say (Trenchtown) (Trench - Trenchtown)
Say (Trench - Trenchtown) we're the underprivileged people
So (Trenchtown) they keep us in chains:
"Pay (Trench - Trenchtown) - pay - pay tribute to -" (Trenchtown)
We come from (Trench - Trenchtown)
We come from (Trench - Trenchtown)
Just because we come from Trench Town
Not because we come from Trench Town
Just because we come from (Trenchtown).
