Thank You Reggae de Jaya The Cat

Eight thirty you head to work
Get your coffee and your paper and pretend it's worth it
Shakedown when Friday comes
try to turn your paycheck into more than surviving
but you know that there's something more than this
check the music as it hits

Thank you
Thank you reggae

Wailing Souls, Burning Spear, Operation ivy
Bad Brains, Waiting in Vain
Michigan and Smiley
ADF and Jimmy Spliff,
Kortatu and Sientist
Joseph Hill, Sublime, Manu Chao
and the Skatalites
And when it's 96 degrees
you are all the shade I need
to help me make it through

Thank you
Thank you reggae

Israel Vibration
Stray Bullets, The Meditations
Thievery Corporation,
Singing Off and Delroy Wilson
White Riot to equal rights
drop the bass all night till daylight
Dillinger, Judgement Dread,
Alton Ellis, Seed and Sizzla
But you know that there's something more than this
Check the music as it hits

Thank you
Thank You Reggae
