1. Out of the garden of Eden
Straight from the motherland, Africa
Adam was living with nature
Surviving off of the land was is nature
But nowadays
Men have lost their way
When mankind cut down the trees
To build up dem cities
Dem dig up mountains and say they’re digging riches
Babylon system got this whole world fighting
Fighting to survive
Fighting one another
They don’t care about life
They don’t care about each other
Rastaman a chant

Chorus
Why can’t we live
How God say man should live
Why can’t we love
How God say man should love

Why can’t we live
How God say man should live
Why can’t we love
How God say man should love

2. We’re living in a time where we must take time
To learn our history
Its written in the signs of the times, don’t be blind
So learn from history
Lies and illusion breeding fear
So called super powers think the end is near
Mother earth suffer from their love of money and greed
Over land and over water
Exploitation increase
Its such a shame
Who’s to blame
When mankind cut down the trees
To build up dem cities
Dem dig up mountains and say they’re digging riches
Babylon system got this whole world fighting
Fighting to survive
Fighting one another
They don’t care about life
They don’t care about each other
Rastaman a chant again

Chorus
Why can’t we live
How God say man should live
Why can’t we love
How God say man should love

Why can’t we live
How God say man should live
Why can’t we love
How God say man should love

3. See babylon cut down the trees
To build up dem cities
Dem dig up mountains and say they’re digging riches
Babylon system got this whole world fighting
Fighting to survive
Fighting one another
They don’t care about life
They don’t care about each other
Rastaman a chant

Chorus
Why can’t we live
How God say man should live
Why can’t we love
How God say man should love

Why can’t we live
How God say man should live
Why can’t we love
How God say man should love

Why can’t we live
How God say man should live
Why can’t we love
How God say man should love
