[T]he music born in Jamaica [is] “the chosen rhythm of resistance around the world,” as Steffens describes it.
NIHILISM NOW! OFF THE PIG IN 2017!!Junior Byles - Fade Away
He who seeks of only vanity
And no love for humanity
Shall fade away, fade away
He who checks for only wealth
And not for his physical health
Shall fade away, fade away
Though some believe in diamonds and pearls
And feel like they're on top of the world
They shall fade away, yeah, hear what I say
The rich is getting richer every day
And the little that the poor man got
It shall be taken away
Do you hear what I say? Yeah, hear what I say
The man who worships silver and gold
Shall surely, surely, surely lose his own soul
Then fade away
One who's always acting smart
And don't carry no love in his heart
Shall fade away
God is here and there and everywhere
And he knows when you play the game unfair
So people beware, or else you fade away!
Hey, beware! Or dare you fade away?
You gotta fade, gotta fade, gotta fade now
The rich is getting richer every day
And the little that the poor man got
It shall be taken away
Do you hear what I say, hey? Hear what I say
One who's always acting smart
And forgetting to carry love in his heart
Shall fade away
God is here and there and everywhere
And his eyes, his eyes are watching you
You gon' fade away, yeah, yeah
You gon' fade, fade, fade, fade away
Fade away, yeah, yeah
Longer version:
Brother what you done
Can't you see you gonna fade away now, fade
Fade in the morning, fade in the evening
Surely you gonna fade
Yeah, you gonna fade every day now ...
Note: This song is the original version first released in 1975. It was later covered by Soul Syndicate in 1977. The last part of the song, starting with "Brother what you done", cannot be found on the 'Rockers soundtrack' (1979), but it can be heard on other versions, like 'Hit Bound: The Revolutionary Sound Of Channel One' (1989). The longer version is approximately 25 seconds longer.
[Jah Lyrics]

About half sorry I slept 'til 1300 today & didn't go look. O.K., maybe a third sorry.
