About

This lively Mento track pulses with syncopated rhythms driven by rumba box percussion and offbeat acoustic guitar accents, complemented by bamboo sax flourishes and infectious call-response singing in Jamaican Patois-inflected English. Playful social satire skewers greedy bosses and social media addicts through witty verses and festive choruses, evoking post-WWII Jamaican folk gatherings. Raw, intimate production captures natural room ambiance and live-band energy for an authentic, danceable precursor to sk

Lyrics

Hey, now, gather round, let's have a laugh today. Sing along the truth in a merry way. See the big man sitting high on his golden chair. Sighs, sweat, and busters, he don't even care. Pockets full of silver, belly full of pie. Promises we talk, but it's all a lie. Oh, boss man, boss man, tight as a drum. Counting all the coins while we scream for crumbs. Bums, boss man, boss man, dance to our tune. One day we'll flip it under the moon. Hey, hey, flip it now. Hey, hey, morning coffee rush, phones in every hand. Scrolling through the face in this wonderland. Leads and shiny smiles, hiding empty hearts. Chasing perfect pics while the real world falls apart. Oh, scummers, scummers, lost in the glow. Posting all the happy news. We're feeling mighty low. Oh, scummers, scummers, wake up and see. Life's no filter, come dance with me. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Oh, scummers, scummers, lost in the glow. Posting all the happy, mighty low. Scummers, scummers, wake up and see. Life, life's no filter, come dance with me. Hey, hey, dance free. Hey, hey. No more scrolling dead forms in a stack so high. Waiting all day long just to hear them sigh. Red tape twisting round like a merry-go-round. Sign here, stamp there, but no sense. Oh, dance man, dance man, ruler of the queue. Pushing all the papers, what else you gotta do? Audemars, dance man, let the people brew. Cut the silly strings, join the fun crew. Let go, let go. Influencer queen. Influencer queen. Find a grin. Fake it till you make it. Ride in high bikes. Queen bee, queen bee, drop the shiny mask. Be real with us now. That's the real test. Oh, queen bee, queen bee, buzzing for the lights. Fake it till you make it. Ride in high bikes. Queen bee, queen bee, drop the shiny mask. Be real with us now. That's the real test. Oh, queen bee, queen bee, buzzing for the lights. Fake it till you make it. Get it out of love. Queen bee, queen bee, drop the shiny mask. Be real with us now. That's the real test. Let go, let go. Oh queen bee queen bee oh queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen bee queen
