Time fi defend the people dem
E.u. 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
Why you want fi see me 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
Why you wantt 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 u 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!
