Is the above not actually from "Chase The Devil" though admittedly by Max Romeo and Lee Perry? From Arkology liner notes - "Yeah, 'Chase The Devil', that song was written by me and Lee Perry. Lee Perry is a man who has some contention with the devil. I don't know if he's obsessed with doin' somethin' to the devil. He came up with this song about hangin' the devil up, cuttin' his throat an' throwin' him in the fire! So I say 'You don't have to do that let's just chase him out of earth, send him to outer space to find another race', and right away go into writin' the song" - Max Romeo While I'm on this - if you see 'Arkology' just hanging around in a store somewhere and you haven't already got much dub, BUY IT... ...you'll be glad you did (oh, and even if you have, it's still a lovely package :).
