LYRICS

Opportunity is what we want today, CHORUS
Oh yeah
First, we got to mash down
The barriers of society
Oh yeah.

So many skilled people
around doing nothing
Whilst you’re sitting down
In your easy chair
I’m telling you this
You’ve got to do better
Because it’s going to cause an uprising
That’s why we want more, more
CHORUS

CHORUS

Look pon brother Jammy
He has got a lot to offer
Six pickney and a woman
To mantrol
But because of society
Him have to supply his Idrens
With the spiritual food at a cost
That’s why we want more, more
CHORUS

What we going to do
We’re going to mash it down
Mash it, mash it
Mash it, mash it down

We’re going to mash it down
Mash it down, mash it
Mash it, mash it down
Society

REPEAT to the end
