Them Belly Full (But We Hungry)

by Bob Marley & The Wailers

on Rebel Music (1986), Natty Dread (1974), Rastaman Vibration (1976)

Them belly full, but we hungry
A hungry mob is a angry mob
A rain a-fall, but the dirt it tough
A yot a yook, but you'd no 'nough

You're gonna dance to Jah music, dance
We're gonna dance to Jah music, dance

Forget your troubles and dance
Forget your sorrow and dance
Forget your sickness and dance
Forget your weakness and dance

Cost of livin' get so high
Rich and poor, they start a cry
Now the weak must get strong
They say, "Oh, what a tribulation!"

Them belly full, but we hungry
A hungry mob is a angry mob
A rain a-fall, but the dirt it tough
A pot a-yook, but the you'd no 'nough

We're gonna chuck to Jah Music- chuckin'
We're chuckin' to Jah music- we're chuckin'

Our belly full, but them hungry
A hungry mob is a angry mob
A rain a-fall, but the dirt it tough
A pot a-cook, but the food no 'nough

A hungry man is a angry man
A rain a-fall but the dirt it tough
A pot a-yook, but the you'd no 'nough
A hungry mob is a angry mob
A hungry mob is a angry mob
