Evil Tongues - The Upsetters, Lee "Scratch" Perry

I don’t like to see people keep peeking over my fence, you know?

Peeking over my window, you know?

I’m a bit curious, you know?

I don’t care how you feel about it, man

It’s just me you know, the truth, you know?

Yeah, you know

There are some hypocrites around me

Who pretended to be my friend

Little did they know that I saw them coming

Saw them coming around the bend

Evil eyes and wicked heart

I saw them coming from afar

Coming, coming to play their part

Evil eyes and wicked heart

I saw you coming to play your part

You want the lion’s share

But Jah Jah know that no fear

You want the lion’s share

But Jah Jah know that no fear

Wicked tongue and evil heart

By the sweat of your brow you shall eat bread

Then how you want to live off the next man’s head?

You’re too lazy, you can’t leave your bed

But ya want to live off the next man’s head

Evil tongue and wicked heart

I saw you coming from the start

Evil tongue and wicked heart

You shall never have no life apart
