About
Upbeat Mento track driven by syncopated rhythms from acoustic guitar and rumba box percussion, featuring lively call-and-response singing and twangy bamboo sax accents that poke fun at political empty promises. Raw live-band energy captures intimate Jamaican folk vibes with natural room ambiance and audience claps, blending satire with festive grooves. Playful melodies keep feet tapping through the witty commentary on prancing leaders.
Lyrics
Gather round now. Feel the beat arise. Leaders dancing. Spin, spinning sweet disguise. They strut on stage with shiny golden tongues. Promising rivers of honey for everyone. When the sun sets and the crowds all fade. Pockets stay dry, debts never paid. We shake our heads, but we sway and grin. Knowing the game's just about to begin. Oh, shake it up, politicians, friends. Empty words in a merry dance. But for the joker, laugh at the king. Tomorrow we'll sing the same old thing. Shake it up, let the rhythm ring. Big hats and suits, they wave their flags high. Swearing they'll fix the tears we all cry. Rides stay bumpy, barely stay lean. Dreams turn to dust in their machine plug-in. We clap along. Feet tapping fast. Turning their tricks to joy that lasts. Oh, shake it up, politicians, friends. Empty words in a merry dance. But for the joker, laugh at the king. Tomorrow we'll sing the same old thing. Shake it up, let the rhythm ring. Oh, shake it up, politicians, friends. Empty words in a merry dance. But for the joker, laugh at the king. Tomorrow we'll sing the same old thing. So dance through the chatter, hold your own tune. Under the stars, we rise like the moon. Hey, get up, one more time we sing. Leaders come, leaders go, but joy is our key. Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey. Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
