Yellow Umbrella
Capitalism
words & music by alex buck
You think that you're
all alone
Your friends and your money all gone
You don't know where you're heading at
Downpressed by all that
You come on knocking
on my door
Say you don't matter any more
Say you don't know what you're living for
Well, haven't you heard before
Capitalism feeds on
individual depression
Exchange your nameless fears for a hopeful expression
Now, don't let that
drag you down
Pick yourself up from the ground
You're worth much more than gold
Stand up and take a look around
You come on knocking
on my door
Say you don't matter any more
Say you don't know what you're living for
Well, haven't you heard before
Capitalism feeds on
individual depression
Exchange your nameless fears for a hopeful expression

Five days a di week
it is german dat me chat
But when the weekend come, I man forget about dat
Mi fling some dancehall music on, turn into a ghetto bway
Becah dat a fe me destination, fe me happiness and joy
If I'll never make
it to montego - bay
I still have to feed my ego
Mumma gimme pocket
money, my allowance is done spent
And like any ghetto youth you know mi haffi represent
Like all brethren inna fe mi posse, mi smoke a lot of pot
Cyah when you is dance hall fan ono supposed fi do dat
And di bad marks from di English class dem never bother me
Cyah a pure patois dat me chat now, and me friend dem just agree. seen.
If I'll never make
it to montego - bay
I still have to feed my ego
I man do just everything
fi pass fi real jamaican
From mi is a dance hall fan, mi haffi follow fi mi plan
Mi haffi bun battyman and big up di rastaman
Bun out white people dem and party all night long
Mi cuss badwuud like
a yardie though me never go a yard
Seh dat mi raas claat ghetto life is so bumbo claat hard
48-hour jamaican, and me friend dem agree
I am eighteen years old, and I'm cool as as can be
If I'll never make
it to montego - bay
I still have to feed my ego
Oh I wanna be jamaican
Oh I try as hard as I can

Time Warrior
words & music by jens strohschnieder
There seems to be
a new philosophy
War without weapons
The missile is economy
The power of wealth
Our new kings and queens they don't show up they're acting hidden
But what does it lead to do you think they know?
Why burn the town when you can buy it!!!
We know that it's
wrong but what to do
Using their method. No!
We don't want to fight it
But time is running up
Our new kings and queens they don't show up they're acting hidden
But what does it lead to do you think they know?
Why burn the town when you can buy it!!!
Why don't we listen
what the wise men say:
"There will be no peace on earth until that day,
We share our wealth and live in brotherhood - Live and let live!"
Why don't we listen what the wise men say:
"There will be no peace on earth until that day,
We share our wealth and live in brotherhood - Live and let live!"
Why burn the town when you can buy it!!!
