Captain Trips is talking out of his ass, and this is coming from a Jamaican.
The government is not run by white people and most Jamaican citizens are not Rastafarians. Rastafarians are a minority discriminated against by a large portion of the Jamaican population.
However, Bob, in referring to the baldheads here was expanding the plight of rastafarians to that of the majority of the population because in Jamaica "baldhead" and "babylon" is used to refer to the establishment as set up by colonial powers and as they have continued.
The song is a post-colonial lament and call-to-arms that could be sung by any former colonial peoples exploited to create wealth for an upper-class that benefits from their hardwork then tries to teach them to hate themselves and adopt the attitudes and perspectives of the oppressive powers that be (Brainwash education).
The first poster mostly got it.
In this songs' case, it is also important to understand the friction that occurs between farmers and the wealthy, in an area with a small land base.

Rastas generally eat natural foods, and many are farmers/fishermen (in the subsistence sense.) Many wealthy folk (most who happen to be gov. workers becuase such a small place has such a limited economy,) look down on farmers because they believe farmers must do this because they are not educated enough to do anything else. Rasta ain't no bum.

Rasta are closer to the earth than your common consumer, and I respect them for that (amongst other things.)
Bob, your music will help to steer the course of souls in the present, and future. Live up!
@lilchen While I agree, it's coming from a minor voice, he wasn't a Captain or a Minority, neither did he want to be or seem to be .
He was a single voice who had resonance with something earth bound not heavens sent.
That singular?
It became the most positive, respectfully too, voice of our time his time and future time we rely upon.
You have no idea what my future may bring or take away from.
From a political viewpoint? I think you have no idea, in my humble opinion, you need to go back to junior school and recap what a minor...

Guardians are just that, adults who help us grow the best they see fit. They are you Minority and they probably understand a plight more than yourself.
