歌詞

The rule of the tyrants decline The year, 1979 From Uganda to Nicaragua It's bombs and bullets all the time So they corrupt, so they vile So it's coup after coup all the while Human rights they violate They thought they were so great So in disgrace now they live in exile Gairy is a wanted man Idi Amin is a wanted man Shah of Iran tried so hard to survive He, too, is wanted dead or alive Strikes, demonstrations & wars Injustice is always the cause Politicians turn too soon from Poor people into tycoons Corruption must bring harass South African Vorster resign in disgrace Muzurewa take away Ian Smith place The Uganda devil was easily cat straddled Beaten up and chased - what a waste. Gairy is a wanted man Patrick John is a wanted man The Shah of Iran try so hard to survive He too was wanted dead or alive. The shah had a short time to live Because the Ayatollah don't forgive When you see church ruling state With pure vengeance and hate Situation must be explosive General Somoza from Nicaragua Thought it was easy with the Sandinistas With the help of Venezuela, Panama and Cuba They kick him straight to America. Gairy is a wanted man Bokassa is a wanted man Ali Bhutto try so hard to survive He too was wanted dead or alive. Grenada mongoose was bad and so brave They send the old bishop straight to the grave After that well Gairy skip town With the diary of the Obeah gong No more people to enslave Trinidad neighbors expected more mayhem Anytime anything can happen to them Eric Williams taking a backseat to avoid Bacchanal But everybody know he a fraidy cat Gairy is a wanted mam Park Chung Hee was a wanted man Acheam Pong fight so hard to survive He too was wanted dead or alive
