THE TABLE TURNING
By Explainer
The way the world is going on, all who up start to fall back down
This might sound like fallacy, '79 prove this to me
I sure you'll remember the fall of many world leaders
Rulers of oppression overthrown by the oppressed man.
The table turning, sah [Round and round]
All dem oppressor [Falling down]
The table turning, sah [Round and round]
Now the oppressor is the oppressed one.
[Round and round, falling down. Falling down, round and round]
March the 13th of '79, --------- came to mind
Bishop overthrow Gairy backed by the People's Army
Well, look at Somoza moved by the Sandinistas
Idi up in Uganda and Emperor Bokassa.
The table turning, sah [Round and round]
All dem oppressor [Falling down]
Table turning, sah [Round and round]
Now the oppressor is the oppressed one.
[Round and round, falling down. Falling down, round and round]
The world's a wheel, the Bible say, that keep spinning every day.
Today you rule a kingdom, tomorrow you in the opposite position
The Shah control Iran with everything at his command
Ayatollah took his position, now the Shah leave Iran and run.
The table turning, sah [Round and round]
All dem oppressor [Falling down]
The table turning, sah [Round and round]
Now the oppressor is the oppressed one.
[Round and round, falling down. Falling down, round and round]

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.
Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.
Mweh ka allay!
