One Step Forward

[Intro]
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah! Na-na-na-na-na-na
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah! Na-na-na-na-na-na

[Chorus]
One step forward, two step backward, down inna Babylon
One step forward, two step backward, down inna Babylon

[Verse 1]
One day you are dreadlocks, well dread!
Next day you are bald head, clean shave!

[Chorus]
Onward, forward, don't step backward, step out of Babylon
Onward, forward, don't step backward, step out of Babylon

[Verse 2]
Are you-a commercialized, grabbing at the cash-backs?
This is a time of decision; Tell me, what is your plan? (Yeah)

[Chorus]
Onward, forward, don't step backward, step out of Babylon
Onward, forward, don't step backward, step out of Babylon

[Verse 3]
Straight is the road that leads to destruction (Ooh yeah)
The road to righteousness is narrow (Ah, let me tell you say!)
(Onward!) Indictive feelings enter feeling, the truth is a fact, tell me!
Are you a con man, or are you-a dreadlocks, eh?

[Chorus]
One step forward, two step backward, down inna Babylon
Onward, forward, don't step backward, step out of Babylon

[Bridge]
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah! Na-na-na-na-na-na
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah! Na-na-na-na-na-na

[Verse 4]
The road is rough and the hill is steep (Ah, let me tell you say!)
The mountain is high and the valley is deep (Ah yeah! Ah yeah!)

[Chorus]
Onward, forward, don't step backward, step out of Babylon
Onward, forward, don't step backward, step out of Babylon
One step forward, two step backward, down inna Babylon
One step forward, two step backward, down inna Babylon

[Bridge]
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah!
Oh, let me tell you say, oh, let me tell you say, na-na na-na na-na
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah! Oh, let me tell you

[Chorus]
One step forward, two step backward, down inna Babylon
One step forward, two step backward, down inna Babylon

[Verse 5]
Straight is the road that leads to destruction (Ah, hear me when I say!)
The road to righteousness is narrow (Ooh yeah, ooh yeah!)
Indictive feelings enter feeling; The truth is a fact, tell me!
Are you a con man, or are you-a dreadlocks, oh?

[Chorus]
Onward, forward, don't step backward, step out of Babylon
Onward, forward, don't step backward, step out of Babylon
One step forward, two step backward, down inna Babylon
One step forward, two step backward, down inna Babylon

[Outro]
Onward, forward, don't step backward, step out of Babylon
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah! Na-na-na-na-na-na
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah! Na-na-na-na-na-na
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah!
