Witeman Country (Live)

Mutabaruka

We get a lot of problems when we say this one
Because this one is very significant
Because lot of people leave their country
And go to a next man country
And feel that things would be better
When they reach that country
And find out that tings is worse
When they reach that country
So listen to this

{London Bridge is Falling Down instrumental}

It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long
It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long

In the '50s my mother sister run go Englan
No my mother gone a America she talk American

It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long
It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long

So you left Clarendon fan go a Brixton
And you checks it in school in a Liverpool
But in a fore we didn't know that tings would get a blo

It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long
It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long

And I listen the news, I get confused
A black man join the Ku Klux Klan

It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long
It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long

If you're white it alright; if you're brown stick around
If you're black get back, you bettah attack

It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long
It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long

Now the fire are go burn, the blood a run
Time Big Ben really tumble down
Attah say him a gone go de chalice
Well me say him should a burn down the palace

It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long
It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long

Hear why
When you there you say "hey Sir"
When you go there you say “a cup of tea please“

It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long
It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long

So dem shoot ray gun - them shoot the poor
Them shoot after the queen and you take it fi a true

It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long
It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long

Now the fire are go burn, the blood a run
Time Big Ben really tumble down
Attah say him a gone go de chalice
Well me say him should a burn down the palace

It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long
It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long

Hear why
When you there you say "hey Sir"
When you go there you say “oi mate it’s getting late“

It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long
It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long

So dem shoot ray gun - them shoot the poor
Them shoot after the queen and you take it fi a true

It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long
It no good fi stay in a whiteman country too long
