  • Was it Peter Tosh who used the line in a song,

    "Everyone wants to go to heaven, no one wants to die!"

    Please let me know the name of the song, drawing a blank here. I would love to see the entire lyrics of that song.

        Here we go...

        Equal Rights and Justice
        By Peter Tosh

        Everyone is crying out for peace, yes,
        none is crying out for justice.

        I don't want no peace,
        I need equal rights and justice.
        I need equal rights and justice.
        I need equal rights and justice.
        Got to get it! Equal rights and justice.

        Everybody want to go to heaven
        but nobody want to die.
        Everybody want to go up to heaven
        but none o' them, none o' them, want to die.

        I don't want no peace,
        I man need equal rights and justice.
        I've got to get it! Equal rights and justice.
        I really need it! Equal rights and justice.
        Just give me my share! Equal rights and justice.

        What is due to Caesar
        you better give it on to Caesar.
        And what belong to I and I
        you better, you better, give it up to I.

        Cause I don't want no peace,
        I need equal rights and justice.
        I need equal rights and justice.
        I've got to get it! Equal rights and justice.
        I'm fighting for it! Equal rights and justice.

        Everyone heading for the top
        but tell me how far is it from the bottom?
        Nobody knows but
        everybody fighting to reach the top
        how far is it from the bottom?

        Everyone is talking about crime,
        tell me who are the criminals?
        I said everybody's talking about crime, crime,
        tell me who, who are the criminals?
        I really don't see them!

        Equal rights and justice. And there'd be no crime!
        Equal rights and justice. There be no criminals!
        Equal rights and justice.
        Everyone is fighting for equal rights and justice.
        Palestine is fighting for equal rights and justice.
        Down in Angola. Equal rights and justice.
        Down in Botswana. Equal rights and justice.
        Down in Zimbabwe. Equal rights and justice.
        Down in Rhodesia. Equal rights and justice.
        Right here in Jamaica. Equal rights and justice.

          That Equal Rights album is my favourite from Tosh.

          Jah Guide, Stepping Razor, African, some real Tosh classics.
