Water And Oil Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers

Dem try fi hold hold wha dem can't conquer
Rastaman no mix up with no vagavanga
[repeat]
They want to condemn the innocent
For crimes which we did not committ
They want to get good people mix up
In their bag of tricks

But water and oil can't mix
Water and oil don't mix
[repeat]

Say dem try fi hold hold wha dem can't conquer
Rastaman no mix up with no vagavanga
[repeat]

Hear this! naah go like the son if you no like the father
True we manifest under the same order
Cock your ears and listen me want you hear ya part ya
But first come in papa Ziggy as the eldest brother
Yes I hear the lies they've told
Dem says Rasta did this and this
What is the politican role
Is it to create conflicts

But water and oil can't mix
Water and oil don't mix
[repeat]
