There can be no song more appropriate than Max Romeo's "War Ina Babylon". An undisputed Scratch Perry-produced classic and the title track of an excellent album recorded in the Black Ark studio circa 1976.
"War inna babylon,
Tribal war inna Babylon
(A wha' you seh?) It sipple out deh
(So wha' fe do?) Mek we slide out deh"
