Why do the wicked man a pressure the poor man?
Oh Lord!
Why do the wicked man a pressure the poor man?
You know?
Evening tide fire, what a fire
Evening tide fire, what a fire
Evening tide fire, it a murder
Me couldn't stand the pressure
Lord, me haffi jump and holler
The fire start burn from quarter to one
Fire brigade never come 'til twenty past one
Thank God fi the fire station
Say, Jah Jah bless all the fire man
Evening tide is burning down, burning down, burning down
Evening tide is burning down
Me couldn't stand the pressure
Anuh bag of wire, anuh mud and bushhead
Anuh bag of wire catch poor house a fire
You a mouse weh make you burn down poor house
You a mouse weh make you burn down poor house
'Cause evening tide fire, what a fire
Say, evening tide fire, it a murder
Me couldn't stand the pressure
Evening tide is burning down, burning down, burning down
Evening tide home is burning down
Me couldn't stand the pressure
The big escort pon the compound
Dem burn it down straight down to the ground
A hundred and fifty-three lost their life
If you think say a joke look in a me eye
'Cause when dem die, me say, the whole world cry
All who still alive pray to Jesus Christ
And gwan a church
Oh Lord! Gwan a church
'Cause why?
Evening tide fire, what a fire
Evening tide fire, what a fire
Some of dem sick, dem couldn't move quick
Some of dem blind, dem never had no time
Some of dem dumb, but the whole of dem burn
Evening tide fire, what a fire
Say, evening tide fire, it a murder
Me couldn't stand the pressure
Lord, me haffi jump and holler
You know?
'Cause evening tide home is burning down, burning down, burning down
Evening tide home is burning down
Me couldn't stand the pressure
'Cause anuh bag of wire, anuh mud and bushhead
Anuh bag of wire catch poor house a fire
You a mouse weh make you burn down poor house
