Verse 1
Judgment morning,

Because I begging the Master,
Gimme a work with Peter;

With them I go be dealing,
Because the things that they do we,
I want to fix them personally.

And I burning, and I burning, and I burning!
Peter, keep the fire coming!
Verse 2
Peter you don't know,
The pressure that I undergo,
From these mad man and woman,
I feel the full weight of their hand;
They make their oppressed law,
They never care ’bout the poor,
Peter, these people had their day,
Well now is time for Stalin to pay.
Peter, wait, I say Peter wait!
Peter, look Ian Smith by the gate
[Burn he, burn he!]
Peter, I don't want you to make fuss,
Remember I want Christopher Columbus
[Burn he, burn he!)
Peter, look the English woman

But Reagan going in the fire too
[Burn he, burn he!] -- Why?...

Peter, don't grudge me,
Your hand done full already,
You done deal with The Fuhrer,
Go ahead and take Foster.
But that woman, Mary,

So much confusion that she make,
You got to give “Black Stalin” a break
Peter, wait, I say Peter wait!

With Botha I don't want you to waste time,
Remember we still have Morgan behind

Verse 4
Peter, stop pushing,
It have plenty more coming.
They call them from over sea,
But leave my -------
During my lifetime,
To me they were so unkind,
So much corruption that they make,
Now it is time they must feel my weight.
Peter, Peter don't hold me back!
Look the one-
Who draft the Public Order Act
[Burn he, burn he!)
Peter look, catch that big belly fella
Wey carry my money down Panama.
[Burn he, burn he!)
Peter, Peter, look the woman
Who bring foreign troops in the Caribbean
[Burn she, burn she!)
Peter, I just don't care what you do,
But baldhead going in the fire too
[Burn he, burn he!) -- Why?...
Chorus
