[Verse 1]
CWipGe oAmut tFhe paintings of slogans
All over the streets (ooh, ooh, ooh),
Confusing the people
While your asphalt burns our tired feet.
I see borders and barriers,
Segregation, demonstration and riots (ooh, ooh, ooh),
A-sufferation of the refugees,
Oh-oh, when, when will we be free?
[Chorus]
COh-Goh-Amoh, Fwe can't take your slogans no more,
Can't take your slogans no more,
Can't take your slogans no more,
No more sweet talk from-a grimepit,
No more sweet talk from the hypocrites.

No more sweet talk from-a grimepit (wo-ah yeah),
No more sweet talk (no-no-no-no sweet talk) from the hypocrites (hey!),
No more sweet talk from-a grimepit,
No more sweet talk (no-no-no-no sweet talk) from the hypocrites (no-no-no-no hey!).

The story behind the song

This song, originally titled "Can't Take Them Slogans No More," emerged from one of Bob Marley's "idea" tapes, a common practice in his career for capturing musical thoughts. It speaks to a weariness of empty phrases and calls for a deeper, more authentic message. Though initially a home recording with just Marley and a drum machine, it was later overdubbed by other artists to create the full sound of a Bob Marley & The Wailers track. Playing it can feel like channeling a desire for truth beyond superficial words.
