Lyrics

Sedition is a funny law.
A very very funny law
The reason for this funny law
They wah to license yuh mouth they doh wah yuh talk
Sedition is a wicked law
A vague and vexatious law
The reason for this wicked law
They wah yuh frighten they wah yuh to hush yuh craw


They wanna license we mouth they doh wah we talk
They wanna license we mouth they doh wah we talk
They wanna license we mouth they doh wah we talk
They wanna license we mouth they doh wah we talk

Radio tell we long long time
Since 1920 down the line
He say this law is a waste of time
Sunity say is a law looking for a crime
If a man was to sing about politics
He got to use a lot of funny tricks
He got to use a little diplomacy
Mix up with common sense with psychology


They wanna license we mouth they doh wah we talk
They wanna license we mouth they doh wah we talk
They wanna license we mouth they doh wah we talk
They wanna license we mouth they doh wah we talk

Yuh mouth have to license
Yuh mouth have to license

It have some things that I shouldnt say
Boy say it anyway
Certain somethings that on my mind
Hope you ain’t get we in trouble this time
Millions missing they cannot find
How money missing all the time?
Mismatch ministers jackass their post
Public service stall, the gears in reverse
Men on remand for twenty years
Top Cop only selling prayers
Miss Myles must be turnin’ in she grave
Corrupted over lords holding the reins
? playing musical chairs
Taxes on the rise
The murder rate high and we ain;t riot

Yuh cyah say that
Yuh cyah say that
Yuh cyah say that
Yuh mouth have to license (lock him up now)
Yuh mouth have to license (lock him up now)
Yuh mouth have to license (lock him up now)
Yuh mouth have to license (lock him up now)

They wanna license we mouth they doh wah we talk
They wanna license we mouth they doh wah we talk
They wanna license we mouth they doh wah we talk
They wanna license we mouth they doh wah we talk

Sedition is a funny law.
A very very funny law
The reason for this funny law
They wah to license yuh mouth they doh wah yuh talk
Sedition is a wicked law
A vague and vexatious law
The reason for this wicked law
They wah yuh frighten they wah yuh to hush yuh craw
