I open my window
To a newday that has just begun
And I feel the bright heat
The bright heat of the Sun
But the Sun is not the same
Old poetic thing
I saw when I was a child
It's a nuclear fireball
Shining upon a world
Turned gloomy and wild

Chorus
It isn't over till it's over
It isn't over, it isn't now
It isn't over till we explode it
It isn't over, it isn't now

Down the streets
I see so many people walk
Staring at their faces
I can guess what they talk about
The same old pathetic life
Eat, sleep and buy
And don't forget to pray
They act like troglodytes
Watching shadows at the bottom of the cave

(Chorus)

It isn't over, it isn't now
The eye of the Rastaman watches all around
Now troglodytes, come out of the cave
You're free! Your masters are dead!
You're no longer slaves! Huh!

(Chorus)
