Why do the wicked man a pressure the poor man — Oh lord

Thank God fi de fire station — Say Jah Jah bless all the fire man

Eventide is burning down, burning down, burning down

Eventide is burning down, mi couldn’t stand the pressure

Caw when them die me say the whole world cry

All who still alive pray to Jesus Christ and gwaan a church

Oh Lord, gwaan a church, cause why

Some of dem blind them never have no time

Some of them dumb but the whole of dem bun

Say Eventide fire it a murder

Me couldn’t stand the pressure

Lord mi haffi jump and hollar, ya know?

Cah Eventide home is burning down, burning down, burning down

Eventide home is burning down, mi couldn’t stand the pressure

Cause I no bag-a-wire / I no I no mada-mushi

I no bag-a-wire catch poor house a fire

You a musta mek you bun down poor house
