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

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

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

Depression, frustration 
The poor man people hungry just a few days 
Frustration. Wise fowl walk like man 
Poor people money bank away

Wonder why politicians them won't go 'way

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

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?
