Track No: 01

Everybody say yeah yeah
Look, we did not come here tonight just for money
We came here tonight for our own enjoyment
For your own enjoyment
So no matter if it is your first concert na the Shrine or not
When I go say everybody say yeah yeah
You go say yeah yeah
Everybody say yeah yeah
Everybody say yeah yeah
Welcome na the Shrine
This story I want to tell you
The story bout how things are
This story I want to tell you
The story bout how things are
One day bus come by
It pass by my side
Me I go to Kalakuta Republic
Two men inside bus
Them start to shout
They say look those people
They be hippy people
They be dope smoking people
So then I stand
I said don't call them like that
Say they be my people
Before you know commotion start
Big trouble, big argument
Big fight, everything
Commotion they come, commotion they go
Fight start and fight stop
Trouble turns around and round
Before conductor get mad, conductor get vexed now
He say I carry everyone
I carry this bus
I carry you passengers
Off to police station there we go
Off to police station there we go
This country no work
This country no work
Police captain yells
He say bring me the fellow people
I go confirm take am to court
I will shut his big mouth for him
When I put his ass in jail
That is how this country be
That is how this country be
That is why everything is scatter scatter
That is why everything is scatter scatter
Why everything is scatter scatter
That is why everything is scatter scatter
No wonder we are where we are
Tell them make them hear
No wonder that's how things are
No wonder justice no work
No wonder newspaper no speak
No wonder money no flow
No wonder people no eat
No wonder that's how things are
No wonder that's how things are
