Hi

Can anyone help me with the lyrics of this stunning track? I didn't get a few things:

Don't let the reverend turn you fool people
don't let him use you as a tool
Don't let the reverend turn you fool people
don't let himm use you as a tool

??? (For HIM?) God is in vatican and HIM ???
send him here to ??? (Revealand?)
come to ??? like a simple ??? (thang?)
holding the bible in his hands

Why dont you tell the people the truth reverend
Why dont you tell the people the truth reverend
Why dont you tell the people the truth reverend
Get rid of evil from the roots

Tell them your god is in vatican and HIM
sent you here to ??? (revealand?) and you
come to ??? like a simple ??? (thang?)
holding Jah bible in your hand

Tell them your god is in vatican and him
sent you here to ??? (revealand?) and you
come to ??? like a simple ??? (thang?)
holding Jah bible in your hand

Why dont you tell the people the truth reverend
Tell them the truth
Why dont you tell the people the truth reverend
Tell them the truth
Why dont you tell the people the truth reverend

I don't get it... is it a critisism on priests or vatican? Maybe someone is so kind to explain it to me.

Thanks!

Blessings

send him here to ??? (Revealand?)
come to ??? like a simple ??? (thang?)

"send him here to rape the land"

and

"coming to we like a simpleton" (another word for fool)

Amazing track, one of my favourites as well.

Hope this helps.

many thanks, this helps indeed!

best wishes
