Thank God that I man live to see, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Thank you Ronald Reagan for the anti-tanker
And thank you Gaddafi for the bazooka
And thank you Selassie for the helicopter

When me hear the news flash pon helicopter radar
So me make a U-turn, go back to Jamaica
Fi go thank the prime minister a fi the rough-neck soldier

Kill him mother, kill him father, and him sister, and brother
