Red Gold & Green

Reggae is the pallet that I paint with
Red, Gold and green
Talking about the things I bear witness to
On and off the Liffey's quays

I'm not Jamaican
Dublin born and bred
I don't wanna be a natty dread
I'm not a Rastaman and I have no God
I Am, what I Am, I Am

Reggae is the pallet that I paint with
Red, Gold and green
Talking about the things I bear witness to
On and off the Liffey's quays

I just wanna sing
'cause this groove sure moves me
I got this thing, doesn't look like leaving
Got a snotty nose and pasty skin
I Am, what I Am, I Am

Reggae is the pallet that I paint with
Red, Gold and green
Talking about the things I bear witness to
On and off the Liffey's quays

I'm not Jamaican
Dublin born and bred
I don't wanna be a natty dread
I'm not a Rastaman and your ears can't see
I Am, what I Am, I Am
