Richie Campbell - Society lyrics

Time fi defend the people dem
Eu me a beg you fi take care a dem
Angela di people feel say you trick dem
Portugal and greece you better dear dem

So many banks dem protect, how
Many new laws dem make
And still me feel like we nah go reach far
Dem raise tax pon food, water, light and gas
One day me haffi sell me house and me car
Everyday me see dem pon the news
With a different plan dem get me confused!
Imf me ask you stop use
Poor people like toothbrush fi
Dust off ur shoes

Why you try fi mash up society
Take away the jobs and the property
Imf me beg you come down fi see
Me beg you fi assume responsibility

Why you try fi mash up society
Why you want fi see we live in misery
Angela me beg you come down fi see
Me beg you fi assume responsibility

Me can't feed me kids dem
On promise and talk
So until them, di big dog nah stop bark
If dem keep it up, the
Whole country gwaan starve
Dem di kinda tings weh generate war
One by one dem a fall
Like the twin tower plane
Portugal, Greece, Italy and Spain
Solution raise tax pon everything
Me soon see dem tax the sunshine and rain

Why you try fi mash up society
Take away the jobs and the property
Imf me beg you come down fi see
Me beg you fi assume responsibility

Why you try fi mash up society
Why you want fi see we live in misery
Angela me beg you come down fi see
Me beg you fi assume responsibility

A nuh communist ting this
A nuh left a nuh right
A nuh politics ting this
Desperate need of money ting this
Yuh hear me loud and criss?

A nuh portuguese ting this
This a nuh greek a nuh spanish
And nuh german ting this universal ting this
Tired fi see me people dem
A struggle ting this

Why you try fi mash up society
Take away the jobs and the property
Imf me beg you come down fi see
Me beg you fi assume responsibility

Why you try fi mash up society
Why you want fi see we live in misery
Angela me beg you come down fi see
Me beg you fi assume responsibility

Time fi defend the people dem
Europe, beg you fi take care a dem
Dem a feel say you trick dem
Unoo you better hear dem

Politician dem go pon the news
Beat off me wage me bankbook get bruise
Tell me how we get a million views
And still me can't buy me wife some new shoes

It nuh funny, me nuh want
Hear no more bout economy
Me want keep my money true!
Dem a feel say you trick dem a Richie
