The Wailers ]
Four hundred years (four hundred years, four hundred years, wo-o-o-o)
And it's the same
The same (wo-o-o-o) philosophy
I've said it's four hundred years
(Four hundred years, four hundred years, wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o)
Look, how long (wo-o-o-o)
And the people they (wo-o-o-o) still can't see
Why do they fight against the poor youth of today?
And without these youths, they would be gone
All gone astray
Come on, let's make a move
(Make a move, make a move, wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o)
I can (wo-o-o-o) see time (wo-o-o-o) time has come
And if-a fools don't see
(Fools don't see, fools don't see, Wo-o-o-o)
I can't save the youth
The youth (wo-o-o-o) is gonna be strong
So, won't you come with me
I'll take you to a land of liberty
Where we can live, live a good, good life
And be free
Look how long four hundred years (four hundred years, four hundred years)
Way too long! (wo-o-o-o)
That's the reason my people (wo-o-o-o) my people can't see
Said, it's four hundred long years (four hundred years, four hundred years. wo-o-o-o)
Give me patience (wo-o-o-o) same philosophy
It's been four hundred years (four hundred years, four hundred years)
Wait so long! wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o
How long? Four hundred long, long years
