LOOK DE DEVIL DEY
Performed by Penguin (1980)

Wey de devil dey? Wey de devil dey?
Wey de devil dey? Wey de devil dey?

So you ‘fraid Satan, that mysterious man?
And you keep saying, "In Hell he living."
Is time you know, you thinking wrong
Devil for so all over town

Chorus:
You ‘fraid de devil? You ‘fraid him bad?
Well look de devil right in your yard!
An’ he grinning while you saying grace
Shaking up he tail in people face
Wey de devil dey? Wey de devil dey?
Look de devil dey!

To fool people eyes devil does disguise
But is no problem to recognise them
Some like to deck in suit whole day
And round dey neck have balisier.

Chorus:
You ‘fraid de devil? You ‘fraid him bad?
Well look de devil right in your yard!
An’ he grinning while you saying grace
Shaking up he tail in people face
Wey de devil dey? Wey de devil dey?
Look de devil dey!

Who praise their Saviour but cuss dey neighbour
Another kind shared peace and blows
Hiding behind some police clothes

Well look de devil right in your yard!
An he grinning while you saying grace
Shaking up he tail in people face
Wey de devil dey? Wey de devil dey?
Look de devil day!

Pay de devil ! Pay de devil !
Pay de devil ! Pay de devil !

Devils in business, in halls of justice
In pot guts old men who seduce girl children
And if you praise the wrongs men do
Well then you is a devil too!

Chorus:
You ‘fraid de devil? You ‘fraid him bad?
Well look de devil right in your yard!
And he grinning while you saying grace
Shaking up he tail in people face
Wey de devil dey! Wey de devil dey!
Look de devil dey!

Pay de devil ! Jab Jab! Pay de devil ! Jab Jab!
Pay de devil ! Jab Jab! Pay de devil ! Jab Jab!
Pay de devil ! Jab Jab! …..

Home, Sweet Home [Song]

HOME, SWEET HOME
By The Mighty Terror

Hallelujah, I come back home
Hallelujah, no more to roam.
I live in England thirteen years
And many days I shedding tears
Now I back home to rest my bones.

Home sweet home, home sweet home
There is no other place like home
No matter wherever you roam
Make up your mind and come back home.

I’ve been weeping both day and night
I’ve been pining for my delight
I love my crab and callaloo
And my favourite cascadou
Now ah back home, I crush their bones.

Home sweet home, home sweet home
There is no other place like home
No matter wherever you roam
Make up your mind and come back home.

When I study freedom at home
I often wondered what made me roam
I had to fight with all my might
To come from darkness into light
Hallelujah, I won the fight.

Home sweet home, home sweet home
There is no other place like home
No matter wherever you roam
Make up your mind and come back home.

Trinidadians, take my advice
You are born in a paradise
Don’t let people mislead you
For you may have to shed tears too
Now I’m back home to stay with you.

Home sweet home home sweet home
There is no other place like home
No matter wherever you roam
Make up your mind and come back home.

Good Citizen [Song]

Uploaded by cool4rocknroll
GOOD CITIZEN
Performed by The Mighty Sparrow
Album: Many Moods Of Sparrow, 1967.

When does someone really become a good citizen?
I’d like to know for sure.
Why when the ordinary man disagrees with the establishment
They call it treason?
Why should they persecute a brother for seeking black power?
Don’t they know a blind man could see that this is blatant hypocrisy,
The real traitors and them are all high in society.
Yet the government protecting all ah dem and penalizing you and me.

And in a million different ways they violate the law
It’s the same good, no good bastards who oppress the poor
They selling black market, making excess profit, paying a starvation salary.
These good citizens are the architects of economic slavery.

They say you have the right to criticize but then you are victimized,
And without any reason, many a time you find yourself
Politically paralysed by that same good citizen.
Yet these fakes and phonies enjoy a long life of luxury
While they spread corruption throughout the country.
When they should be arrested,
They’re protected and respected in the society.

And in a million different ways they violate the law.
It’s the same good, no good bastards who oppress the poor
With their false declaration, tax evasion, defrauding customs duty.
These good citizens are the architects of economic slavery.

In lust, in greed, in fraud, in strife they specialize
Double deals, double deals they idolize.
If you brave enough to open your mouth and criticize,
One time you are ostracized and or victimized.
Still they go unpunished and unaccused of any crime,
While on the backs of the ordinary man these vultures climb.
They use their riches and their power, make a mockery of the law
And have the law protect them same time.

And in a million different ways they violate the law
It's the same good, no good bastards who oppress the poor
They controlling bootlegging, dope peddling, prostitution and piracy.
These good citizens are the architects of economic slavery.
