A all you leaders of the world, I say
Corruption I see in high places
Corruption I see in high places
Why you causing men to fight with guns, bombs and mortar?
Every day Jah send, they just causing so much pain
And when you ask them, ask them
Why they keep killing their own, go on
The answer, it's always the same
The answer, it's always the same
Corruption up there in high places
Corruption up there in high places
And I wonder why, why?
I wonder why, oh why, yeah

A new born baby opens his eyes to destruction
I see him manifesting by his own brother's hand
He never-ever, never-ever seen his
Young mother laughing, her eyes so red
She haven't left nothing, his father left home to go
Fighting for right, fighting for right
And a country (A land that he can live on)
Fighting for right, fighting for right
And a country (Peace and only Jah can own)
Fighting for right and a country (Fighting for right, yeah)
Fighting for right and a country (Peace and only Jah can own)

And the ones that send the youths down there to war
They done know, say, war is good for nothing at all
Man in a soldier, soldier in a war
Bullet in that soldier, what is it all for?
For, for (What it's all fighting for?
What it's all them fighting for?)
Corruption up there, corruption in high places (In high places)
Corruption in high places
Corruption I see in high places (The men that send the youths to war)
Corruption I see in high places (Tell mommy what is all it coming for)
Corruption I see in high places (In high places)
Corruption I see in high places
Too much corruption in high places
Too much corruption in high places
