I try to realise the pain of another man

I try, but there's no way to understand

Why must we fight, why must there be such pain

And you look around, everyone's to blame, because

Condition red, there's too much fighting today

Condition red, there's got to be a better way

I rise up in the morning and I feel the Babylon on me

And I burn a little kali cos I know it'll set I free [sic]

We struggle every day, we gotta be what we want to be

And there will come a day when we all will live as one in peace and harmony

Till then

Condition red...

No colour of our skin, no rich, no poor, no bourgeoisie

One life, one love, one Jah above for you and me

We're strugglin' every day, can't you see

A little bit of love is all we need, but now

Condition red...
