[Intro: Anthony B and Garnett Silk]
Ah look ova yonder and what do I see?
The world is in trouble
Oh yogoyoyoy
The world is in trouble
Haile Haile Haile Haile Haile I
Only Jah can help
Only Jah can save us now

[Chorus: Garnett Silk]
Total annihilation
That's what they are heading for
Total annihilation
Say they wanna live like the stars
Total annihilation
That's what they are heading for
Total annihilation
Say they wanna live like the stars

[Verse 1: Garnet Silk]
Why won't the world leaders start to think? (A little more)
If they're blind, shall we not all stumble?
They're working to make us sin
Brother, can't you see the world is in trouble?
Double trouble
Total annihilation

[Verse 2: Anthony B]
See me ah sight dem
Dem all ah run to di rock pon an di rock it all ah run
Run to di sea an dem no see where it tu'n
False leader unnu ah gon get fiya bu'n
Be ah corruption pon Jah earth, dem bring down
From di risin' of di moon until di settin' of di sun
Listen ah Selasie I daughters and son
Doh stop chant until Babylon done
This is some words of wisdom from we tongue

[Verse 3: Garnett Silk]
Where are we going? Are our eyes not working? (Don't follow Babylon)
From the cup of hatred we should not drink (Cyah drink from dem cup)
Can't you see peace and love is the missing link?
Peace and love is the missing link (An we haffi find it)
After the eve of the nuclear war
Where will you be? Some say they're heading for
But can they escape? Tell me
[Chorus]
Total annihilation
That's what they are heading for (We see clear)
Total annihilation
Say they wanna live like the stars
Total annihilation
That's what they are heading for
Total annihilation

[Verse 4: Anthony B]
Alright, Garnett lemme tell last t'ing
Me know dem hymn an me see dem plan
Dem headin' fi total destruction
Wi dem poison gas an atomic bomb
It couldn't be right so we know dat wrong
Dem waan fi destroy di beauty of Jah plan
'Bout di environment dem doh cyar ah damn
Only t'ing dem cyar bout is dem election
Who ah goh fall from who ah goh stand?
Leaders of right clench Jah HIM hands in hand
Goh mek we beat down di walls of oppression wit me song
Me song, me song

[Verse 1: Garnett Silk]
Tell me why won't the world leaders start to think? (Dem no know)
If they're blind, shall we not all stumble?
They're working to make us sin (But stand strong)
But can't you see the world is in trouble?
Double trouble
[Chorus]
Total annihilation
That's what they are heading for (See dem dere)
Total annihilation
Say they wanna live like the stars (See clear)
Total annihilation
That's what they are heading for (Here and dere)
Total annihilation
