Mento

About

This lively Mento track pulses with syncopated rhythms driven by acoustic guitar strums and rumba box percussion, featuring playful call-response singing that rallies listeners against political empty promises. Bamboo sax weaves jaunty melodies through the upbeat folk grooves, capturing the raw energy of a live Jamaican band in an intimate setting with natural crowd cheers. The production emphasizes acoustic authenticity, festive offbeat accents, and a fully resolved danceable close.

Lyrics

S.S.L., my friends, let's sing and swing The big shots talk, but we have our say Leaders promise gold under sunny skies Big words flying like birds in disguise They shake your hand and pocket the key But we see through wild and free Oh, vote for the dance, not the empty show Twist and shout, let the truies blow Hey hey hey no more fooling around We rise up laughing feet on the ground We rise up laughing What? What? What? What? The good folks march with our center Tune in to the music, the music is on Talk of tomorrow, but fail every chance Pockets get fuller, our plates stay bare But I'm Gabriel Lars, no, they're really char Oh, vote for the dance, not the empty show Twist and shout, let the truies blow Hey hey hey no more fooling around We rise up laughing feet on the ground We bounce and we fuck it Shake it up, Brazil! We echo loud and grand But empty the bastards in our own land They point up ahead to a dreamy shore We stomp our feet and demand much more We merry makers claim everything We merry makers claim everything We merry makers Spin the wheel fast, watch the fakes unwind Our playful power leaves them behind Hitler! The villains call and the farce is on stage Politicians falter in our game They wave big flags in a stormy gale Selling hot air, leaving trails that fail Our circle tightens with gleeful cheer Clap and call, let the people lead No more begging for the fruits we need You'll be IAs when your partner's true The power's ours and the farce is ours Golden parachutes for the ones who flee Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
