    World So Corrupt
    WRITTEN BY
    David "Ziggy" Marley


    When will the blind see, when will the deaf hear Why should the babe shed so many tear drops And the wicked man not even a sigh And those wicked men not even a sigh 'Cause we are living in a world so corrupt We are living in a world so corrupt (repeat 3 times) Lies they sell cheaper than bread What they do starve the people of truth Secretly the system programme the pain In disguise of every day life problems (repeat) We are living in a world so corrupt (repeat) Yeah, I am living in this world so corrupt You are living in a world so corrupt There is a way which seems so right to men But it end leadeth to destruction Even in gladness the heart weeps And the end of joy is grief Oh the end of joy is grief Don't lose your way find it today And don't drop the speed, people in need Don't lose your way, find it today I don't drop my speed, the people in need We are living in a world, living in a world, living in a world Mama, I have got to change it We are living in a world, living in a world, living in a world On daddy, Oh daddy, I remember you told me Living in a world, living in a world, living in a world That's so corrupt now, that's so corrupt now Living in a world so corrupt, got to be tough Got to be rough, got to be tough, got to be rough now drums: Wilburn Cole bass: Christopher Meredith guitars: Earl "Chinna" Smith, Ian Coleman keyboards: Carol "Bowie" McLaughlin, David "Ziggy" Marley percussions: Uzziah "Sticky" Thompson brass: Dean Frazier, Nambo, Chico Chin, David Madden lead vocal: David "Ziggy" Marley background vocal: Cedella Marley, Sharon Marley Prendergast, Erica Newell, Stephen Marley
