Wanted Dread and Alive - Peter Tosh

It's all the same Only the names will change Every day It seems we're wasting away Another place Where the faces are so cold I drive all night Just to get back home I'm a cowboy On a steel horse I ride I'm wanted Dead or alive Wanted dead or alive Sometimes I sleep Sometimes its not for days The people I meet They just go their seperate ways Sometimes you tell the day By the bottle that you drink And times when your alone All you do is think I'm a cowboy On a steel horse I ride I'm wanted Dead or alive Wanted dead or alive Now I walk these streets A loaded six string on my back I play for keeps Cause I might not make it back I've been everywhere And still I'm standing tall I've seen a million faces And I've rocked them all Cause I'm a cowboy On a steel horse I ride I'm wanted dead or alive Cause I'm a cowboy I've got the night on my side I'm wanted dead or alive Dead or alive Dead or alive

Now here comes a special request To each and everyone Especially those of my brethren Who forget where they are coming from, you know This song is called roots and culture Don't you bite the hands that feed you My brethren no Don't you bite the hands that feed you Don't you burn your bridges then behind you My brethren no Don't you burn your bridges them behind you Cause if you burn your bridges down That is a wrong thing to do The good you do today will surely live after you I say Don't you bite the hands that feed you my brethren no Don't you bite the hands that feed you Remember the days of bread and water man Remember the days of hunger Don't forget your roots and culture My brethren say Remember your place of shelter Cause if you deal with war man You can't run far You deal with grudge You a go melt like fudge Don't you bite the hands that feed you my brethren no Don't you bite the hands that feed you no Don't you bite the hands that feed you my brethren no Don't you bite the hands that feed you Don't you burn your bridges them behind you my brethren no Don't you burn your bridges them behind you Cause if you deal with war man you can't run far You deal with grudge You a go melt like fudge mi say Don't you bite the hands that feed you mi brethren say Don't you bite the hands that feed you no Remember your roots and culture my brethren say Remember your place of shelter Don't forget the days of bread and water man Remember the days of hunger For you never miss the water till the well runs dry You spit ina the sky It a go fall ina you eye mi say Don't you bite the hands that feed you my brethren no Don't you bite the hands that feed you
