Slogans Lyrics - Bob Marley
Review The Song (15)
Can't take your slogans no more,
can't take your slogans no more,
can't take your slogans no more,
can't take your slogans no more.
Wipe out the paintings of slogans
all over the streets (ooh, ooh, ooh),
confusing the people
while your asphalt burns our tired feet.
I see borders and barriers,
segregation, demonstration and riots (ooh, ooh, ooh),
a-sufferation of the refugees,
oh-oh, when, when will we be free?
Oh-oh-oh, we can't take your slogans no more,
can't take your slogans no more,
can't take your slogans no more,
no more sweet talk from-a culprit,
no more sweet talk from the hypocrites.
/guitar solo/
So we know we can't take your slogans no more,
can't take your slogans no more,
can't take your slogans no more,
no more sweet talk from-a culprit,
no more sweet talk from the pulpit.
No more sweet talk from-a culprit,
no more sweet talk from the hypocrites (oh, no hypocrites!),
no more sweet talk from-a culprit (wo-ah yeah),
no more sweet talk (no-no-no-no sweet talk) from the hypocrites (hey!),
no more sweet talk from-a culprit,
no more sweet talk (no-no-no-no sweet talk) from the hypocrites (no-no-no-no hey!).
can't take your slogans no more,
can't take your slogans no more,
can't take your slogans no more.
Wipe out the paintings of slogans
all over the streets (ooh, ooh, ooh),
confusing the people
while your asphalt burns our tired feet.
I see borders and barriers,
segregation, demonstration and riots (ooh, ooh, ooh),
a-sufferation of the refugees,
oh-oh, when, when will we be free?
Oh-oh-oh, we can't take your slogans no more,
can't take your slogans no more,
can't take your slogans no more,
no more sweet talk from-a culprit,
no more sweet talk from the hypocrites.
/guitar solo/
So we know we can't take your slogans no more,
can't take your slogans no more,
can't take your slogans no more,
no more sweet talk from-a culprit,
no more sweet talk from the pulpit.
No more sweet talk from-a culprit,
no more sweet talk from the hypocrites (oh, no hypocrites!),
no more sweet talk from-a culprit (wo-ah yeah),
no more sweet talk (no-no-no-no sweet talk) from the hypocrites (hey!),
no more sweet talk from-a culprit,
no more sweet talk (no-no-no-no sweet talk) from the hypocrites (no-no-no-no hey!).

Greatest Song Ever | Reviewer: Henry Francis Abban | 10/7/12
I was amaze this song exist.Only last week a friend of mine introduce me to this great song.And I have been playing it continiously.I wish and hope reggae dj at various radio stations across the world will human race great service if they'll play this song on their programs.Yes we don't want any off this political slogans on our ears,yes we can't take any more of their lies in the streets as we are in election era.Peace brother Nesta.Nhinyabegie chant down babylon.
this is a master class | Reviewer: Sola | 5/1/12
I have was exposed to Bob's music in my early teens before Bob's passing. I have to say as a Bob Fanatic, been able to sing about all of his music i know off hand. It's a shame I did not know about Slogans. I read that it was still "work in progress". but nobody can deny the fact that this is a master class. Kudos to Eric Clapton. this is a great song!

what Bob sing is truely reflects whats realy exists in presence life,politicians ask that we'll achieve the best but still truth suppressed.and there is no telling.What he says will never end till politics is downpressed and no man to lead another rather than himself.I'll still tell the people to understand lyrics which teach us the truth of all our life.The blood of our brother and sisters shade due to palitics deceitful slogans will nourish the tree of freedom(feel reggae music)

True the song is been underrated, i came acroos this song on soweto tv reggae music programme. i have been listening to brother bob for almost 30 years and i came across this song this year (2011). The song exposes the lies that we are told by our political party during every election season, they promise our people good life but what we get is the same old lies. when are the poor gonner rise up and stop this thing. STOP voting. i don't knoe if that is the solution. We can't take their slogans no more. they fill our streets and once they are in office the forget about us. Peace be with you brother Bob, we love you.
Timeless | Reviewer: Abraham | 4/3/10
This song demonstrates bob marley music will never die, it's 2010 and there is still so much trouble in the world, slogans looks like it was written in the present though marley died almost 30 years ago.
Eric clapton really puts a great touch into this song, love the solo
"slogans" commento | Reviewer: carti | 1/19/10
Bob parla di rivoluzione con dolcezza,dolcezza vera -non ipocrita-,consapevolezza e commozione:chi grida giustizia e libertà,pace e fratellanza si rende portavoce di "Jah"!!! Bob amava "Jah" e i "dimostranti" .Non c è tono veemente o violento c è solo fermezza e coraggio : a volte niente è più forte di un sussurro!
Questo testo mi è venuto in mente gli scorsi giorni guardardo le VERGOGNOSE immagini di"Rosarno"...............

i agree that this song is most definately underated. i am a 12 yr old and have been listening to bob marley since my mum was pregnant with me! my mum dad and i own just about every single bob marley cd and record.i have only come across 'slogans' on one cd, and on that its a bonus song! i think it says that it was released in 2005, so that is probably why.
Pancakes | Reviewer: Cameron | 2/23/09
This Song Isn't Really Underated, Everyone Loves This Song, It Is Just So Rare, Nobody Knows It, It's Not Even On Bob's Myspace, And There Is Like Everysong He Has, It's Also Not On Any CD's Because It Was Just A Demo, But It Needs 2 Be Re-Released, By Obama As This Nation's Anthem
Coming in from the cold | Reviewer: Leo Vaughan | 9/25/08
I am a Jamaican and has been a Bob Marley fan all my life, and didn't hear this song 'Slogans' untill 2007. This must truly be one of his most underated song, but it confirms his geneous, and song writing skills.This song also confirms his true desire to see the poor get their equal rights and justice.
Most Underrated Marley Song | Reviewer: Kevin | 4/29/08
This song is truly touching and amazing in the ideas and frustration it conveys to the listener. Marley has a powerful voice in most of his song and this is no different. Coming from a long time listener who has heard almost every song by "Brother Bob", this is deffinitely his most underrated song.
