Stiff Necked Fools Lyrics

Stiff necked fools, you think you're cool
To deny me for simplicity
Yes you have gone, for so long
With your love for vanity now
Yes you have got the wrong interpretation
Mixed up with vain imagination

So take JAH Sun, and JAH Moon
And JAH Rain and JAH Stars
And forever yes erase your fantasy, yeah

The lips of the righteous, teach many
But fools die for want to wisdom
The rich man's wealth is in his city
The righteous wealth is in His Holy Place

So take JAH Sun and JAH Moon
And JAH Rain, and JAH Stars
And forever, yes erase your fantasy
Destruction of the poor is in their poverty
Destruction of the soul is vanity, yea

Stiff necked fools, you think you're cool
To deny me for simplicity, yeah, yeah
Yes you have gone, gone for so long
With your love for vanity now

But I don't wanna rule ya
I don't wanna fool ya
I don't wanna school ya
Things you, you might never know about

Yes you have got the wrong interpretation
Mixed up with vain, vain imagination
Stiff necked fools, you think you're cool
To deny me for, ooh simplicity

"Stiff necked fools , you think you're cool To deny me for simplicity " sometimes i belive Bob Marley wrote this song for, me because i relate so much with this lyrics, there are so many idiots who go with the herd and do everything everybody else does and if they see someone who is diffrent because he want's to be simple they laugh of him

@rastafani that is an interesting interpretation. but to me that line is god speaking to man. saying that we deny the richness of His teachings on how to live as One ppl for the simplicity of Capitalism. Ignoring all the pitfalls of the currant system. He follows up by saying that "you have the wrong interpretation" so take gods moon, n gods sun. comparing the perfectness of gods creation to the fucked up mess that we have created on earth. he say to forever erase your fantasy that our creation of a world could compare to that of gods plan for...
