Verse 1 From Bridgetown straight to Geneva town, Comeeshong lay the whole thing down, He say history ain’t dead and gone, Old empire just put new jacket on. Smile in summit, knife in trade, Rules for some, for some man raid, And when small states ask what is right, Big powers answer with force and fright. Chorus Might ain’t right, No matter who start de fight, Might ain’t right, Darkness can’t pass for light. Might ain’t right, Not in de day, not in de night, If justice ever mean a thing, Then might alone can’t rule de ring. Verse 2 He warn them plain in de global hall, If law break down, small states fall, What go shield de weak from de giant hand, If muscle alone now rule de land? So fix de rules, but keep them true, Make them fair for me and you, Cause once brute force take de stage, Justice lock up in a cage. Chorus Might ain’t right, No matter who start de fight, Might ain’t right, Darkness can’t pass for light. Might ain’t right, Not in de day, not in de night, If justice ever mean a thing, Then might alone can’t rule de ring. Verse 3 Friends of all, satellites of none, Dat is how de Caribbean come, Not to BOUGH and not to beg, Not to crawl on empire edge. Africa calling, Caribbean too, Tell de world what power can do, But memory strong and spirit bright, And truth still stronger than mere might. Bridge Old empire in a new disguise, But small states see through polished lies, Call it order, call it peace, But pressure still don’t bring release. Final Chorus Might ain’t right, No empire can rewrite de light, Might ain’t right, No bomb can make a wrong thing right, Might ain’t right, From de islands comes de clearer sight, If de world want peace to live, Then law and justice it must give. [Closing chorus] Might ain’t right, No matter who start de fight, Might ain’t right, Darkness can’t pass for light, Might ain’t right, Not in de day, not in de night, If justice ever mean a thing, Then might alone can’t rule de ring. [Spoken] Man dah in right! ...Nuh right ah tall! ...onfair man!
