Exodus, movement of jah people Exodus, movement of jah people Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons Packed up and ready to go Heard of some grave sites, out by the highway A place where nobody knows The sound of gunfire, off in the distance I'm getting used to it now Lived in a brownstone, lived in the ghetto I've lived all over this town This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around No time for dancing, or lovey dovey I ain't got time for that now Open your eyes and look within Are you satisfied with the life you're living? We know where we're going And we know where we're from We're leaving Babylon And we're going to our Father's land Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit? Heard about Pittsburgh, P. A.? You oughta know not to stand by the window Someone might see you up there I got some groceries, some peanut butter To last a couple of days But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones Ain't got no records to play Why stay in college? Why go to night school? Gonna be different this time Can't write a letter, can't write a postcard I ain't got no time for that now Exodus, movement of jah people Exodus, movement of jah people City of tiny lites Don't you wanna go Hear those tiny auto horns When they tiny blow Tiny lightning In the storm Tiny blankets Gonna keep you warm Tiny tiny pillows Tiny tiny sheets Talkin' 'bout those tiny cookies That the people eat Oh the city of tiny lites Maybe you should know That it's over there It's over there It's over there It's over there In the tiny dirt somewhere This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around No time for dancing, or lovey dovey I ain't got time for that now This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around This ain't no Mudd Club, or C.B.G.B I ain't got time for that now Exodus, movement of jah people Exodus, movement of jah people Exodus!
