Ambush In The Night Lyrics

[Bob Marley]

            (Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wa!)
            See them fighting for power (ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wa!),
            But they know not the hour (ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wa!),;
            So they bribing with their guns, spare-parts and money,
            Trying to belittle our
            Integrity now.
            They say what we know
            Is just what they teach us;
            And we're so ignorant
            'Cause every time they can reach us (shoobe, doo-wa)
            Through political strategy (shoo-be, doo-wa);
            They keep us hungry (shoobe, doo-wa),
            And when you gonna get some food (shoobe, doo-wa),
            Your brother got to be your enemy, we-e-ell!

            Ambush in the night,
            All guns aiming at me;
            Ambush in the night,
            They opened fire on me now.
            Ambush in the night,
            Protected by His Majesty.
            Ooh-wee, ooh-wee.  Ooh-wa-ooh!
            (Ooh-wee) Ooh-wee, ooh-wee (ooh-wa), Ooh-wa!
            Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh wa-ooh!
            Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh wa-ah!

            Well, what we know
            Is not what they tell us;
            We're not ignorant, I mean it,
            And they just cannot touch us;
            Through the powers of the Most-I (shoobe, doo-wa),
            We keep on surfacin' (shoobe, doo-wa);
            Thru the powers of the Most-I (shoobe, doo-wa),
            We keep on survivin'.

            Yeah, this ambush in the night
            Planned by society;
            Ambush in the night;
            They tryin' to conquer me;
            Ambush in the night
            Anyt'ing money can bring;
            Ambush in the night
            Planned by society;
            Ambush in the night -                   /fadeout/
