version Lyrics


We could live
In a house outside of town
We could build
Our own version of society
Well
Time to pay, to pay
Time to pay, to pay
There'd be no one to answer
To and complicate our lives
We could be
The epitome of self-sufficience
Time to pay, to pay
Time to pay, you've got to pay me
Time to pay, you've got to pay me
Why should I?
Why, why should we pay for your mistake to carry on?
Why should we
Carry on your false integrity when

When you've shown us that you
Can't even keep your nest clean?
Time to pay, to pay
Time to pay, to pay
So far we've put financial gain
Ahead of human needs
Quality of our lives
Should be prioritized, yeah
Time to pay, to pay
Time to pay, you've got to pay me
Time to pay, you've got to pay me
Why should I?
Why, why should we pay for your mistake to carry on?
To carry on?
(Modify your version so we can carry on)
To carry on, to carry on?
(Modify your version so we can carry on)
To be conclusive, I'd like to say
You've done a super-fine job with your display
I see now that you cannot comprehend
What it means to respect your life and then some
To be rich that would be great
No, but it doesn't mean poo-poo without your nest
So why should I pay for your mistake, man?
Why should I?
Why, why should we pay for your mistake to carry on?
Why, why should we pay for your mistake to carry on?
To carry on?
(Modify your version so we can carry on)
To carry on, to carry on?
(Modify your version so we can carry on)

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Joe Higgs (June 3, 1940 – December 18, 1999) was a reggae musician from Jamaica. In the 1960s he was part of the duo Higgs and Wilson together with Roy Wilson. Higgs knew Bob Marley from the early 1960s. In fact, Marley acknowledged later on that he had been an influential figure for him. Most people interested in classical reggae do not recognize his name, however Higgs has been regarded as the "Father of Reggae' by Jimmy Cliff. For a while Higgs toured with Cliff as well as The Wailers when Bunny Wailer refused to go on the tour in mid 1970s while The Wailers were having disputes.
