Three Meals a Day - Dennis Brown

Three meals a day

No rent to pay

Got to no wife to obey

Only the bosses gettin' paid

Sitting in a two by four

Lookin' through an iron door

Down in hell

I could never get used to that smell

I’m talkin' about detention-detention

I’m talkin' about deten- (Yeah)

I’m talkin' about detention-detention

I’m talkin' about deten-

Believe me;

(Oh-oh, believe me)

Believe me, (Hm-hm, it’s true)

Believe me

I said, three meals a day

Got no rent to pay

Got to no wife to obey

Only the bosses gettin' paid

Sitting in a two by four

Lookin' through an iron door

Down in hell, I said

I could never get used to the smell (No)

I’m talkin' about detention-detention

I’m talkin' about deten- (Yeah)

I’m talkin' about detention-detention

I’m talkin' about deten- (Na-na-na)

Got to believe me, (oh-oh-oh, it’s true)

Detention, detention (Woah yeah)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Woah yeah)

The wrong remains the same

And the righteous gets the blame

The wrong remains the same

Jah people gets the blame

Every time, everyday, everywhere they go

Jah people-Jah people, gets the blame

Every time, everywhere they go

Got to overcome the judgement and tribulation (Oh yeah)
