Iron Lion Zion Lyrics

[Bob Marley]

            Eh!  I am on the rock
            And then I check a stock;
            I have to run like a fugitive
            To save the life I live.
            I'm gonna be iron like a lion in Zion;
            I'm gonna be iron like a lion in Zion.
            Oh, yeah!  Iron, lion, Zion - lion, Zion!
            I'm on the run
            But I ain't got no gun.
            See, they want to be the star,
            So they fightin' tribal war,
            And they saying, "Iron like a lion in Zion -
            Iron like a lion in Zion -
            Iron, lion, Zion!"

            I'm on the rock-a,
            Seel-ya-bub, I take a stock,
            I had to run like a fugitive, good Lord!
            Just to - just to save the life I live.  Oh, now!
            I'm still - I'm gonna be Iron like a lion in Zion.
            (What did I say?)  I'm gonna be Iron like a lion in Zion.
            What did you say?  Iron, lion, Zion!

            I'm on the run,
            But I don't got no gun.
            See, my brothers wanna be the stars,
            So they fighting tribal war,
            And they saying, "Iron like a lion in Zion."
            Wo!  Lion like iron a Zion!
            Eel-ya-bub-a, Iron, lion, Zion.  Yeah, now, now!

            Iron, lion, Zion!  I'm on the run!  (I'm on the run)
            Iron, lion, Zion!
