They don't want to see us unite
All they want us to do is keep on fussing and fighting
They don't want to see us live together
All they want us to do is keep on killing one another

Top rankin', top rankin'
Are you skankin'? (skankin', skankin')
Are you skankin'? (skankin', skankin')
Wo-ho, top rankin' (top rankin')
Oh, did you mean what you say now?
Are you, oh are you? (rankin', rankin')
Are ya, Lord, Lord, Lord (skankin', skankin')

They say the blood runs
And it runs through our line,
And our hearts, heart of hearts divine, yeah!
And John saw them comin', ooh!
A with the truth
From an ancient time

The brotherly love (brotherly love)
The sisterly love (sisterly love)
I feel this morning, I feel this morning
Brotherly love (brotherly love)
The sisterly love (sisterly love)
I feel this morning, this morning, hey!

They don't want us to unite
All they want us to do is keep on fussing and fighting
They don't want to see us live together
All they want us to do is keep on killing one another

Top rankin' (top rankin')
Did ya mean what you say now? (top rankin')
Are you skankin'? (skankin', skankin')
Are you skankin'? (skankin', skankin')
Top rankin' (top ranking)
Did you (top rankin') mean what you say? (top rankin')
Are you? (rankin', rankin)
Are you? (skankin', skankin')
Top rankin' (top rankin')
Top rankin' (top rankin')
Are you? (skankin', skankin')
Ow are you? (skankin', skankin')
