Snake In The Balisier [Song]

SNAKE IN THE BALISIER
By Shadow

I want to invoke the Doctor and then write him a letter
I want to ask him a question, if he knew what was going on
The other day I was passing, I hear people complaining
He is the man with the answer but he quite over yonder.

They saying snake in the balisier, snake in the balisier
Snake in the balisier and they biting hard
Snake in the balisier, I sorry for Trinidad.

Big snakes in the country, man, they worse than mapepire
When they making they racket, they does dress up in nice jacket
Some big fat macajuel drain out the oil in the oil well
I don't know how they found the key but I hear they empty the Treasury.

Snake in the balisier, snake in the balisier
Snake in the balisier and they biting hard
Snake in the balisier, destroying Trinidad.

I want to question the hunters who does hunt down the squatters
They does cut down your hammock, they don't care if you sleep on rock
While them snakes in the country only fulling their belly
I want to ask what causing that but I 'fraid they shoot off mih hat.

I telling yuh, snakes in the balisier, snake in the balisier
Snake in the balisier and they biting hard
Snake in the balisier, I sorry for Trinidad.

Them snake have no feelings, they does bite up anything
I hear they bite up the money and have the country in jeopardy
They bite up the pipeline, no water for the swine
I don't know what they would do next, they bite up a whole racing complex.

Snake in the balisier, snake in the balisier
Snake in the balisier and they biting hard
Snake in the balisier, I sorry for Trinidad.
