About
An authentic Calypso track pulsing with syncopated percussion on congas and bright steel drum accents, propelling an upbeat island groove that satirizes political corruption through witty narrative lyrics. Call-and-response vocals in the infectious chorus rally listeners into the festive storytelling, supported by acoustic guitars, thumping bass, and lively brass for a raw, organic Trinidadian ensemble feel. Minimal processing preserves the live, street-kaiso energy perfect for carnival vibes.
Lyrics
whoa well gather round hear the tale so fine of a leader who shines but his pockets align he gather round hear the tale so fine of a leader who shines but his pockets align he came with a smile big talk on so fine of a leader who shines but his pockets align he came with a smile kids and fine cars we queue for water he jets to the islands living divine scandal in papers but he waves it away tomorrow's another bright promise day oh what a joke what a grand parade promises flying like a fetty cascade he laughs in the mirror counts to shine gold we sing and we sway calypso truth he cuts like a knife politicians dance stealing our life one day we'll wait shake off the spell no more fool's gold ring that freedom bell from the market to the street ring that freedom bell from the market to the street we'll call his name time for real change and this crooked game mr big shot man calypso's watching with a wink and a plan gather round sing it loud and true the people's rhythm will carry us through we'll call his name
