Soul Of The Nation

Photobucket

By Gypsy
Listen to this song at GarageBand

You see that a nation without a soul is like a ship that has lost its rudder...

Born in a land of such great expectation
Over the years I watch its deterioration
Just couldn’t stand by idly and say it’s a shame
Someone or something in this land has to be blamed
Politics for one and politicians for the other
Make sure the good of this land don’t stay together
How could some place so good turn out so bad?
Where is the love in this land that we once had?

Chorus:
Somebody tiefing the soul ah mih nation
Somebody gone with the love that we had
Somebody tiefing the soul ah mih nation
Somebody driving this country mad
And we, yes you and me, we have to stop this conspiracy
Ah telling you we, yes you and me, we have to stop this conspiracy
Somebody tiefing the soul ah mih nation

Drug addiction and prostitution
Teenage pregnancy have taken over my land
Much too much political corruption
Talk about race only cause more confusion
Who would ever try to put all these wrongs right?
Too much frustration without no end in sight
Leader after leader put the nation under pressure
And ordinary people just have to run for cover, lord

Chorus:
Lord, somebody tiefing the soul ah mih nation
Somebody gone with the love that we had
Somebody tiefing the soul ah mih nation
Somebody driving my country mad
And we, yes, you and me, we have to stop this conspiracy
Ah telling you we, yes, you and me, we have to stop this conspiracy
Somebody tiefing the soul ah mih nation

Work ethics keep on going down the drain
Young people today say they ent working again
They tell you blatantly they ent working no more
They tired work and can’t see what they working for
Price in the groceries gone sky high
The goods on the shelf and poor people cannot buy
We morals and we money gone
We don’t know wey it went
This can never be happening by accident

Chorus:
Somebody tiefing the soul ah mih nation
Somebody gone with the good out of my land
Somebody tiefing the soul ah mih nation
We need to make so much more supplication
And we, yes, you and me, we have to stop this conspiracy
Ah telling you we, yes, you and me, we have to stop this conspiracy
Somebody tiefing the soul ah mih nation

Everything wrong in this land today look so right
Defended by those we know should know better
Raping women in the land is a disaster
Yet the punishment recommended drive them to anger
What in the world are we really coming to?
Where do we go from here, what are we going to do?
The laws in the place is nothing but a waste
Cannot be implemented what a judicial disgrace

Chorus:
Somebody tiefing the soul ah mih nation
Somebody gone with the morals of this land
Somebody tiefing the soul ah mih nation
Somebody causing much too much frustration
And we, yes, you and me, we have to stop this conspiracy
Ah telling you we, yes, you and me, we have to stop this conspiracy
Somebody thieving the soul ah mih nation.

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Gypsy.

"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!
Guanaguanare
