we like it so - mighty sparrow lyrics

(we like it so! we free!)

[verse 1]
neighbour, look, if i was a selfish man
i wouldn’t be involved in this election
i done old already, i ain’t want fame
plus i ain’t looking for fortune again
all i asking is that you pay close attention
to the many problems we all face from dawn to dawn
you’re intelligent, i think, and you should face issues
but you behaving like a moron, cussin’ me for wey i born

[chorus]
but yuh pipe ain’t have no water, you pay too much for b*tter
(take yuh steel beam and go!)
the terrible school system is such a bl**dy problem
(take yuh steel beam and go!)
agriculture’s in a state, planning is inadequate
(take yuh steel beam and go!)
the northern and southern idol, the two kingpins of bobbol
we know! we like it so!

(we like it so! we free!)

[verse 2]
anything that’s wrong, he go put it right
georgie porgy tell we the other night
so instead of displaying impatience
cool yourself and give de fella a chance
how the h*ll you could say o.n.r. go do better?
bet we send you back grenada in a drum
we and georgie going to put it right together
we have freeness and freedom, plenty roti, plenty rum
[chorus]
hospitals have no linen, is brown paper they using
(take yuh steel beam and go!)
public transportation is an abomination
(take yuh steel beam and go!)
well, food, clothes, and rent is proof
cost of living gone through the roof
(take yuh steel beam and go!)
classified information for personal gain is common
we know! we like it so!

(we like it so! we free!)

[verse 3]
sparrow, boy, you need psychiatric aid
to be in them bourgeois people motorcade
me ain’t ‘fraid to tell you straight to yuh face
you backing a jackass in a horse race
georgie say all you ain’t getting one d*mn seat
o.n.r. come out to mamaguy
bokassa say how all yuh going to feel the heat
the penalty to oppose is high, that’s political suicide

[chorus]
we can’t get house so we squat, living with c*ckroach and rat
(take yuh steel beam and go!)
yuh cesspit flowing over, you could catch yellow fever
(take yuh steel beam and go!)
soldier in bulldozer break down meh shack in morvant
(take yuh steel beam and go!)
is plenty s*xual favours to be a ten days worker
we know! we like it so!
(we like it so, we free!)

[verse 4]
it ain’t have a single thing you could say
could make me abandon meh balisier
no steel beam go fall down on top meh head
sparrow, i’s a p.n.m. till i dead
birdie, you may be shock when ah tell you this
hudson*phillips is a yankee c.i.a
and the whole of o.n.r. is only communists
they’ll take carnival away and make people work each day

[chorus]
is years you in ah union and can’t get recognition
(take yuh steel beam and go!)
the unemployment levy murdering everybody
(take yuh steel beam and go!)
children come out of college below elementary knowledge
(take yuh steel beam and go!)
we grieving with frustration through maladministration
we know! we like it so!

(we like it so! we free!)

[verse 5]
this concern that you showing here for we
could well cost you your popularity
francisco, how come you ain’t understand?
we ain’t want no blasted opposition
just like georgie porgy, i done sharpen my gilpin
waiting for the opposition tail
anytime we catch them only backpedaling
i ain’t even want no bail, i ain’t ‘fraid to make a jail
[chorus]
food you could produce here is imported from elsewhere
(take yuh steel beam and go!)
to fish in yuh own water is jail in venezuela
(take yuh steel beam and go!)
no one to devise for we a good foreign policy
(take yuh steel beam and go!)
bribery and corruption control every decision
we know! we like it so!

(we like it so. we free!)
