Election - Culture

Yes you, Mr. Politician

We re not blind, we seeing you

You use the people s misery for your prey

And you use war to be a business

Now I want you to deal with something now in the new millenium

How long this a go continue?

And how long you believe you ago last?

I wonder why politician them won t go way

Rasta can t get no peace inna this land

I wonder why politician them won t go way

Rasta can t get no peace on the land

Rasta children run them way

Tivoli and Jungle unite

You think I never see when you go a Switzerland, go

Bank up all the people dem money

You think I don’t know seh when you a buy places and property all

Bout where poor people can’t read back fi get back

Some of dem tax money (Watch it!)

Depression, frustration

The poor man people hungry just a few days

Frustration.

Wise fowl walk like man

Poor people money bank away

We nuh want no politics

Wonder why politician them won t go way

Bingiman want some peace on the land, Chuh

Wonder why politicians them won t go way

Bingiman, we want some peace of the land

Kings and queens, president

All them do is oppress God s people

Prime ministers, underdogs

Cat a lick, while Jah Jah Lion a watch

Cat a lick, dog a watch

Listen what them say in society

(No Anglican)

Cat a lick, while old dog a watch

Jah bound to man crotch

Come down off yah high horse!

Boy, mi nah pile up no nuff pon plenty and me nah give

No man who have already

The man who hungry haffe eat

And the man who have already haffe share

You know, you a hear mi man?

And me have something fi tell yuh inna the next version

Come down off yah high horse!

Some people a kick fast too long

Big fish a rain from the sky fi you

Everything too easy for you

And it seem to me that the rich man tax write-off

And the poor man haffe pay that

Boy?

Them send very likkle for your money, them no own a joint.

Ya no understand?
