No Bacchanal

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh let them fight if they want I am a non-participant Year after year they rioting When they go start uniting? To go to a nightclub or a dance Or any kind of fête is a big chance You ain't sure to walk out from the place Unless a dagger stick in your waist [Chorus] I ain't have no band, I ain't in no gang I ain't want no confusion with no hooligan My friends are sociable, very very respectable And we ain't want no bacchanal for this Carnival Aye aye aye! [Verse 2] So many people are afraid To join in the Carnival parade Although they ain't looking for nuttin' Something terrible might happen And then you can't depend on the police Instead of making arrest they making peace So before you end up in casualty Ah think you better play your mas like me [Chorus] I ain't have no band, I ain't in no gang Who the hell want confusion with them hooligan? My friends are sociable, very very respectable people And we ain't want no bacchanal for this Carnival The word is "mas", according to him! Play mas! [Verse 3] Useless fighting don't make sense I believe in non-violence Don't lick down people just because You want to show them you could break the laws Have some regard for human life Don't be too quick to pull your knife "Live and let live" that's what I say Try as you want, you know crime doesn't pay [Chorus] I ain't have no band, I ain't in no gang And meh ain't want no confusion with them hooligan My friends are sociable and very respectable And we ain't want no bacchanal for this Carnival Woh yo yo! Sing it if you swing it, aye aye aye! [Verse 4] Too many gang what's too much clash You many daggers and cutlaash Too many reach the hospital Too many people end up in funeral What is the reason for all this? Cut out this blinking foolishness Jump in the crowd and play your mas But don't bring no razor and cutlaash [Chorus] Look, I ain't have no band, I ain't in no gang Who the hell want confusion with them hooligan? My friends are sociable, very very respectable And we ain't want no bacchanal for this Carnival Woh yo yo!
