(Yeah, yeah)
Listen now, hear the sound of the truth
We walking on this road together
Need to clear the path, you see?
One love, one heart, one mission
I look around and what do I see
A heavy shadow hanging over you and me
It is the culture of corruption, a thorn in the side
It leaves the righteous with nowhere to hide
I don’t know why we keep feeding the flame
When all it brings is sorrow and shame
It breaks the spirit, it blocks the light
And keeps us struggling through the middle of the night
Take it out, take it out, take it out
Corruption away, let the truth come out
Take it out, take it out, take it out
We washing the rot, that is what it’s all about
Take the culture of corruption, throw it in the sea
We want a better life for you and for me
Take it out, take it out, take it out
Corruption away, hear the people shout
This culture is destroying peace in the transit journey
Burning up the bridge while the world is turning
It’s biting deep into the bones of the poor
Those who have nothing left to give anymore
No money to pay for the favors they seek
While the strong keep pushing down on the weak
It’s a cycle of greed, a bitter design
But you can’t hide your sins behind the bottom line
Take it out, take it out, take it out
Corruption away, let the truth come out
Take it out, take it out, take it out
We washing the rot, that is what it’s all about
Take the culture of corruption, throw it in the sea
We want a better life for you and for me
Take it out, take it out, take it out
Corruption away, hear the people shout
I cry for the children, the men, and the wives
Caught in the mess of these twisted lives
It’s being selfish and stupid to only think of self
Leaving your conscience gathering dust on the shelf
You sneer at the wise, you ignore the sign
But what will you say at the end of the line?
On the Day of Judgement, what will you bring?
When the heavens open and the angels sing
Watch out, brother, watch out
Take it out, take it out, take it out
Corruption away, let the truth come out
Take it out, take it out, take it out
We washing the rot, that is what it’s all about
Take the culture of corruption, throw it in the sea
We want a better life for you and for me
Take it out, take it out, take it out
Corruption away, hear the people shout
Take it out, take it out
Root it out of the heart
Start again, clean and pure
Corruption away, yeah
Just walk the straight path
Peace and love, that is the only way
(Take it out, take it out)
Jah bless the honest man
(Corruption away)
One love.
