No Dreads Songtext
von Lee “Scratch” Perry

No dreads, no help, no help
No dreads, no dreads, no, no help
No mercy, no dreads, don′t come in
Don't come in, dread, don′t come through the iron gate
Says the lion fate, I offer the dates in my hand
And the lion said, "No dreads, no dreads, no dreads
What that on your head?!"
We are defending the baldhead extraterrestrial brother
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Krishna Hare
Hare Rama, Rama Ramta, Santa Santa
And the green chariot of fire
Lead Perry into the dragon
And wake up Bruce Lee, karate
Boo kung fu, boo kung fu, I'm-a richer than you
Boo Americans, boo, I'm richer than you
Boo Queen Elizabeth, boo, from my poo poo
Could you, Scooby Doo, doo doo, Snoopy too
Snoopy flies in the air, way!
"Come fly with me," Bushy say, "Way!"
I go down in the gutter and suffer and suffer


Can′t find no bread, no butter, no broth
Can′t get no starch, can't get no hatch
And won′t find the chicken back, chicken rack
Chicken back and back, hit dem with the rock
I say, gimme the rock, gimme the rock, and gimme the road
Yeah, gimme the magic and the ancient Ethiopian scroll
And let the wicked fades away
Fades away and watch and pray
And clear the way and fades away from my present
And we enter the future
Be down there saying saluting to the great Pluto
Who wears the boots-a and boots-a
And say, "To root-a!"
Flash lightning and let the children clap
I shoot dem with thunderclap
I will, yeah, stone age skinhead cap
No one can stop Marcus Garvey camp
You they cannot stamp
Who dare insult thee upset and lift the bag about it
The story goes, hey, Django shoot and ask question later
Which dread died? Who enter, said, the sky?
Which dread died? Who enter, said, the space
Said, you is Martian
Which dread died? Baldhead we born without hair on no head
Without any debris fell in the underpants and no panty
Hey, naked we come, naked we go
We didn't come up with the riches and silver and gold
Not the earth got the silver, the gold, the diamonds and the pearls
So how come you black African fighting for my diamonds and pearls?
When you don′t know who I am
And worshiping Satan and selling the malefactors
European world, you killing elephants
Eating dead meats
Yeah, why you worshiping cannibal?
Why you don't love the animal, animal?
Ooh, hey, mum, bay, bah!
Hey, baa-baa black sheep get vexed
Marcus Garvey take back his ex
Yeah, Lee Scott pray call back for his sex
Old King Cole call back his silver and gold
Yeah, silver and gold I buy enough
And I have not, not bluff
In the name of Jesus Christ get up and rock
I will have you killed on the spot
Rat-a-tat-a-pa-pa-pow, just like that
Wap, wap, wap, clip, clip and cut off your cap
Turn your back and take the lurch and rock
Hey, now I say teenagers live up to frack
I bought a stiff dick
My name is Dick Graceman and I am Batman, are you ready?
