Lyrics
WIRE FENCES
1)These guys killin' those guys--'cause those guys got some land
That these guys think that those guys-- stole right out their hand
Cuttin' up the land-- Slicin' up the sea -- So, this is Manifest Destiny
But Hey, Ho! You gotta let it go!--Who owns it anyway?
We're just watching over it-- for a few days
CHORUS
'Cause JAH DON'T RUN NO -- WIRE FENCES
JAH DON'T RUN NO -- WIRE FENCES
2)People always ask me -- what kinda music do I play
Since there's only good and bad-- I'm not sure what to say
I guess it's folklore-Celtadelic-heavy metal-punk-funk-slack key-mambo-blues
Honky Tonk-Tex Mex-township jive--Go ahead!! You choose!
Harmolodic-tango-Sufi-big band-Dance Hall-Merengue
I don't really care-- I'm gonna play it any ol' way
CHORUS
3)They can't live with them-- 'cause them don't think like they
So they think that it's best-- to keep them far away
Keep 'em outta sight-- keep 'em outta mind-- keep 'em on the other side
Ain't nobody killed-- mental apartied
They don't look like, eat like, smell like, pray like, sound like, talk like us
But before you go, and play the judge-- know that
CHORUS
