Equal Rights Songtext
von Peter Tosh

Everyone is crying out for peace, yes
None is crying out for justice

Everyone is crying out for peace, yes
None is crying out for justice
I don′t want no peace
I need equal rights and justice
I need equal rights and justice

I need equal rights and justice
Got to get it equal rights and justice
Everybody want to go to heaven but nobody want to die (follow us, Jesus)
Everybody want to go up to heaven but none of them, none of them want to die

I don't want no peace
I, man need equal rights and justice
I got to get it, equal rights and justice
I really need it, equal rights and justice
Just give me my share, equal rights and justice


What is due to Caesar, you better give it unto Caesar, heh heh heh
And what belong to I and I, you better, you better give it up to I
′Cause I don't want no peace
I need equal rights and justice

I need equal rights and justice
I've got to get it, equal rights and justice
I′m a fighting for it, equal rights and justice
Everyone heading for the top
But tell me how far is it from the bottom

Nobody know but
Everybody fighting to reach the top
How far is it from the bottom
I don′t want no peace
I want equal rights and justice

I need equal rights and justice
I've got to get it, equal rights and justice
I really need it, equal rights and justice
Everyone is talking about crime
Tell me who are the criminals


I said everybody is talking about crime, crime
Tell me who, who are the criminals
I really don′t see them
I don't want no peace
I need equal rights and justice
We got to get equal rights and justice
There′ll be no crime, equal rights and justice
There'll be no criminals, equal rights and justice
Everyone is fighting for equal rights and justice
Palestinians fighting for equal rights and justice
Down in Angola, equal rights and justice
Down in Botswana, equal rights and justice
Down in Zimbabwe, equal rights and justice
Down in Rhodesia, equal rights and justice
Right here in Jamaica, equal rights and justice
