To the will of the people, the will of the people
All nation have to bow, drastic solution
And to the will of the people, all nation bow
Drastic resolution

Drastic, do you want it
Do you want it to be drastic, would you like it
Drastic, do you want it
Oh do you want it to be drastic, would you like it

Hey, I'm a say, we don't want to fight
But if you push us we have to
Hey, we don't give up our right, will not stand still
Mmmh, all this oppression make things rough
So I'm a see I've become a slave to my purpose

Man mi sey fe drastic, do you want it
Oppressor all over the world, drastic,
Man would you like it

Oh now, you push us down we still get up
You turn your back on us, mmmh, we, we are still here
Try, economic slavery, and this is what you do
You put us in a social jail for isolation
Upper class, middle class, lower class
Third World people look look look look
Look you know, look, you know

Know the power that we have
Know the power catch it like a cat in a bag
Through the power that we have
Know the power catch it like a cat in a bag

All over the world poor people suffer
Mi sey a dog eats more supper in society
You make the world so hard
How is a womanto live, how is a man to think
Hey, I'm just talking to you
Make up your mind, make up your mind

All nation have fe bow, oh to the will of the people
All nation have fe bow, to the will of the people

Now, now drastic, drastic, drastic solution
Drastic drastic, a drastic drastic revolution
Drastic a drastic a drastic drastic solution
Mmmh a drastic a drastic a drastic a drastic revolution

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
