They burn down the
They burn it down (Down, down, down, to the ground)
It's a shame and disgrace
To see the burning up the people there
Some blind and can't see
Some dumb and can't talk
Some cripple can't walk
What a advantage
When the fire burn them out (Hey)
The waterman couldn't solve it
The policeman couldn't talk about it
Because they burn
ย
Evening tide fire a disaster
Evening tide fire a disaster
I couldn't stand the pressure
I couldn't stand the pressure
To see the poor people a burn in the fire
ย
Oh, you wicked men, won't let mi have some feeling (Feeling; hey)
The water that fall from my eyes
The water that fall from my eyes
Couldn't full the well, it couldn't full the well (Hey-hey)
Shame and disgrace
ย
Burn it down, they burn it down
Shame and disgrace
Evening tide fire, you couldn't stand the pressure
Because it burn down-down
Some couldn't stand the pressure
Some have fi jump an' cry out
Some have fi jump an' say "Man, that's wickedness"
Some cripple, some can't walk
Some cripple (Hey)
Some blind, can't see
Some dumb, can't talk
So why you take the fire on them?
Why you turn the fire on the poor people there?
ย
Every man have a right to live
The poor people also (You, you, you)
Shame and disgrace
ย
Evening tide fire a disaster
Dreadful situation, it shock the whole nation
Evening tide fire a disaster, evening tide fire a disaster
Mi couldn't stand the pressure, mi have
Fi jump an' holler (But watch out)
Evening tide is burning down, burning down, burning down
Evening tide is burning down
Mi cyaan stand the pressure, mi cyaan stand the pressure
Them cut di telephone wire
'Cause every time dat mi look pon di old people-dem
Water come at mi eye
Lord, you should-a see mi when mi cry
Lord, you should-a see mi when mi cry
A boat could-a sail in a mi eye water
A boat could-a sail in a mi eye water
Di hair weh drop off a mi head
Di hair weh drop off a mi head
Lord, it could-a tie up a boat
Lord, it could-a tie up a boat (Wooy)
Evening tide fire a disaster
Evening tide fire a disaster
Dreadful situation, it shock di whole nation
Di fire did start from quarter to one
Brigade never come until a twenty past one
Thank God fi di fire station
Cah Jah Jah bless all di fireman (Hey)
Evening tide fire a disaster
Evening tide fire a disaster
You shouldn't burn down di evening tide up
You shouldn't burn down di evening tide up
