Lyrics Hey FoliticianHey folitician, me seh hey folitician
Me seh hey folitician
Mek you go long so
Hey folitician, me seh hey folitician
Me seh hey folitician
Mek you go long so
You come chatty chatty chatty
Run up you' mouth;
You come chatty chatty chatty
Run up you' mouth;
One man, one vote
You hear from the shout
One man, one vote
You hear from the shout
You full of pur promise
But you tell damn' lies;
You full of pur promise
But you tell damn' lies;
You make a mistake
And then somebody dies.
You make a mistake
And then somebody dies.
Hey folitician, me seh hey folitician
Me seh hey folitician
What you doin 'bout the slums?
You sit around all day and twiddle your thumbs;
You have a strange expression
Mek you look like you' dumb.
You sit around all day and twiddle your thumbs;
You have a strange expression
Mek you look like you' dumb.
You worry everybody
'Til you put them in a box.
You worry everybody
'Til you put them in a box.
Dub freak gone
Gone go check him record shop
Dub freak gone
Gone go check him record stock
Him climb up on the box
Him said him got to reach the top;
Him climb up on the shelf
Him seh you take care yourself.
Him dance upon the floor
Him said a music galore
Him dance upon the floor
Him said a music galore.
Dub freak, dub freak
Deh 'pon the go;
Say you never know
Because I told you so
Sippa, sippa, sippa, sippa, lightning crash;
Sippa, sippa, sippa, sippa, lightning crash;
Drummer 'pon him drum, him jus' a play mish-mash
Drummer 'pon him drum, him jus' a play mish-mash
Keyboards in the middle
Keyboards in the middle
Don't stop and stare because the rhythm gone clear.
Dub freak, dub freak, in a dub freak style
Dub freak, dub freak, still a running wild.
Him start from the bottom 'til him reach up the top
Him keep on rocking and him never never stop.
Dub slip an' slide
Dub slip an' slide
Dub slip an' slide
He can't find nowhere to hide. |
