John Brown's Body - Bread [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

We don't have no time in this life to lose. Oh yea
It's our decision
We gonna have no more starvation
We know hard times that we been passing through, oh yea
But through the power of Jah higher
We gonna bring them to the fire
And all the blessings will be falling all night
Like rain in summer

Must have the power to refill our cup right, not flowing over
We have control of our living, sing all the souls of the sun
And there's nobody gonna hold me down
And there's nobody gonna hold me down now

Because the people they must all eat bread
Because the people they must all eat bread
So let the music that we spread out be your food tonight
Because the people they must all eat bread
But they're dying in the streets instead
The people they must all eat bread and live up tonight

Look at what you said already
Now you're running out of melody
And you're hoping it will be okay
I say too late. too late. too late

Come on and greet devotion
And you're hoping that the gate's still open
And you're hoping it won't be too late
This could be the first calling for the end of days
This could be the last trumpet
You better kneel and pray
This could be the first calling for the end of days
And everyone shall be known and seen by his conduct and virtue
Jah is mighty and he rules over nations
We have control of the riddim
We have control of the vibe
And everybody gonna hear the sound
And everybody gonna hear the sound now

Because the people they must all eat bread
Because the people they must all eat bread
So let the music that we spread out be your food tonight
The people they must all eat bread
But they're dying in the streets instead
The people they must all eat bread and live up tonight
