Mi Revalueshanary Fren Songtext

von Linton Kwesi Johnson

Mi revalueshanary fren is nat di same agen
Yu know fram wen ?

Fram di masses shata silence
Staat fi grumble
Fram pawty paramoncy tek a tumble
Fram Hungary to Poelan to Romania
Fram di cozy cyassle dem staat fi crumble
Wen wi buck-up wananada in a reaznin
Mi fren always en up pan di same ting
Dis is di sang im love fi sing :

Kaydar
E ad to go
Zhivkov
E ad to go
Husack
E ad to go
Honnicka
E ad to go
Cauchescu
E ad to go
Jus like apartied
Wi av to go

Awhile agoh mi fren an mi woz taakin
Soh mi seh to im :

Wat a way di eart a run nowadays, man
It gettin aada by di day
Fi know whey yu stan
Cauz wen yu tink yu deh pun salid dry lan
Wen yu cteck a stack yu fine yu ina quick-san
Yu noh notice ow di lanscape a shiff
Is like valcanoe unda it an notn cyaan stap it
Cauz tings jusa bubble an a bwoil doun below
Strata seperate an refole
An wen yu tink yu reach di mountain tap
Is a bran-new platow yu goh buck-up

Mi revalueshanary fren shake im ed an im sigh
Dis woz im reply :

Kaydar
E ad to go
Zhivkov
E ad to go
Husack
E ad to go
Honnicka
E ad to go
Cauchescu
E ad to go
Jus like apartied
Wi av to go

Well mi nevah did satisfy wid wat mi fren mek reply
An fi get a deepa meanin in di reaznin
Mi seh to im :

Well awrite
Soh Garby gi di people dem glashnas
An it poze di Stalinist dem plenty prablem
Soh Garby leggo peristr
