Them want I, them want I, be com'a them funeral.
                                         
Them claim say, them claim say; they are the General.
                                    
Them want I, them want I, be com'a them funeral.
                                         
Them claim say, them claim say; they are the General.

Interlude:

    

Verse 1:

                 
What a big dis-grace;
                     
The way you rob up the place.
                                       
 Rob every-thing you can find, yes, you did,
                           
And you'll even rob from the blind.
             
You must see want I fe;

Bridge 1:

                            
 Com'a, com'a funeral; and I no go.
                    
 No one burial, yet you want I;
                                         
 Com'a, com'a funeral, make your friend come claim say;
              
 You are the geni.

Verse 2:

                                
 Now we know the truth, yes, we do,
                   
Find you wearing the boot.
                                           
Of taking people's business on your head, yeah,
                           
So might as well, you be dead.

Chorus 2:

                                    
Them want I, them want I, be com'a them funeral.
                                         
Them claim say, them claim say; they are the General.
                                    
Them want I, them want I, be com'a them funeral.
                                         
Them claim say, them claim say; they are the General.

Verse 3:

                    
Let the dead bury the dead, now,
                       
 And who is to be fed, be fed.
                              
 I ain't got no time to waste on you, no, no,
                                      
 I'm a livin' man; I got work to do, right now.

                     
 This man, and that man,
                         
Yes, they are the same man.
                          
 You taught us this, just as well,
                                         
That the rich man Heaven, is the poor man's Hell.
             
You must see want I fe;

Bridge 2:

                            
 Com'a, com'a funeral; Natty no go,
                    
 No one burial, yet you want I;
                                         
 Com'a, com'a funeral, make your friend come claim say;
              
 You are the geni.
