Crash Lyrics

Written by: das, pandit, savale, tailor, zaman


New crash is coming

Watch out imf dem try to tek away your sight
Boom an a gloom, recession it a loom
For de second time in ten years monies starting to get tight
Better tek cover ’cos de crash is coming soon
Lock, stockbrokers and two smoking barrels
Spun de roulette wheel an a you won de first time
So forget bout prayers an a your christmas carols
Welcoming de new year back on de breadline

New crash is coming

Pointing de index finger at meaningless figures
Dow jones, wall st., nikkei they all lied
Speculator, golddigger an free market ligger
Here comes a ftse up your backside
Pacific rim panic, taking de tooth from de tiger
Financial fallout overriding de geiger
A war of nerves between the us an japan
Once again de underdogs end up carrying de can

Watch out imf dem try to tek away your sight
Boom an a gloom, recession it a loom
For de second time in ten years it’s your money or your life
Better tek cover ’cos de crash is coming soon
International monetary foul play
Talking doublespeak is de order of de day
Freetrade, slavetrade, slip dem a bung an call it aid
Gurus, fakirs: witness de mess dat they have made

It’s de end of history, we say it’s just de beginning
Struggle for de truth no more doctors will be spinning
Pilger prophecised de profits of de city
Media mogul dying wid his hand inna de kitty
We live in de world that time begatt
Time to check de data debris an change de format
All de way from de frontline here comes de backlash
Bad news outnational announcing de crash!
