About
An infectious Calypso groove pulses with syncopated percussion, steel drum accents, and upbeat island rhythms, underpinned by acoustic guitars, bass, and congas for a raw, live Trinidadian feel. Witty narrative lyrics deliver sharp satirical commentary on political scandals through storytelling verses, exploding into festive call-and-response choruses that mock corruption with humorous flair. The production stays organic and minimal, capturing the essence of street kaiso with festive energy and social bite.
Lyrics
Hey, listen up, carnival time rolling in Politician men dancing with a guilty grin Down by the road where the potholes deep Big man promise fix Tax money vanish like rum in the night He building a mansion shiny and bright He building a mansion shiny and bright People shouting, people shouting Where's our daily bread? He laughing loud wearing feathers on his head Oh, Scandal King, he say no Pocket full of lies, dancing all day From fooling costume leading us astray Leading us astray Girlfriend scandal, photo in the paper She wearing gold chain from the taxpayer paper Daily life struggle, same old sweet talk Vote for the joker, lost in the chalk He say no Pocket full of lies, dancing all day Pocket full of lies, dancing all day From fooling costume leading us astray He say yes One day the rhythm gon' change the beat People rise up, no more deceit Masks fall off in the masquerade like He say yes, we say no One day the rhythm gon' change the beat People rise up, no more deceit Masks fall off in the masquerade Truth coming for truth in this endless fight Scandal fight Scandal fight Scandal fight Story linger on In this endless fight Carnival whistle Sing the righteous song Hey, Scandal King Your time done passed Hey, Scandal King Your time done passed Hey, Scandal King No more No more No more Hey, Scandal King No more Hey, Scandal King No more Hey, Scandal King No more Hey, Scandal King No more Hey, Scandal King Hey, Scandal King No more Hey, Scandal King Hey, Scandal King Hey, Scandal King No more Hey, Scandal King No more Hey, Scandal King No more Hey, Scandal King No more
