The West by Althea and Donna Lyrics

[Chorus]
The west is gonna perish, the west is gonna perish
No food, no work, no pay
The west is gonna perish, the west is gonna perish
No food, no work, no pay

[Verse 1]
Rasta nah deal with slavery
So we've got to migrate
No peace, no love, no deh on yah
Just war among the youths
We have got to leave this place
We have to repatriate

[Chorus]
The west is gonna perish, the west is gonna perish
No food, no work, no pay
The west is gonna perish, the west is gonna perish
No food, no work, no pay

[Verse 2]
Strictly Zion I a defend
Flowing with milk and honey
Being close to Jah Almighty I
So we've got to migrate
We have got to leave this place
We have to repatriate
[Chorus]
The west is gonna perish, the west is gonna perish
No food, no work, no pay
The west is gonna perish, the west is gonna perish
No food, no work, no pay

The west is gonna perish, the west is gonna perish
No food, no work, no pay
The west is gonna perish, the west is gonna perish
No food, no work, no pay

[Verse 3]
Africa where we all come from
The land of no pestilence
Oh we're waiting not in vain
So we've got to migrate
We have got to leave this place
We have to repatriate

[Chorus]
The west is gonna perish, the west is gonna perish
No food, no work, no pay
The west is gonna perish, the west is gonna perish
No food, no work, no pay
