Prophet of Doom

Lyrics

[Verse 1] If you happen to see and know When politics going wrong With facts and figures prepared to show It's better to bite your tongue To them political boss Who the people trust And get double cross You're an obstacle to be removed at any cost Oh, oh a social conscience is really very dangerous to your health The awesome strength of the powers that be most certainly will be felt To tell them that their priorities and performance is under par It's poetic to hear them describe to you who you are [Chorus] First of all, you're a megalomaniac, a power seeker A crazy [?], a trouble maker And if you tell them that the economy is no longer in full bloom Then you become a prophet of doom and gloom [Verse 2] People complaining everyday The cost of living too high Still they take all the subsidies away So man could suffer and die The situation is much too rough for anyone to ignore And I know that the people can't take it anymore But to show you really and truly care Is often misunderstood To express an abiding love for here Seldom does any good The system is far from perfect and most certainly must improve But to tell them that is a very dangerous move [Chorus] 'Cause you become wicked and nefarious, counter-revolutionary Disciple of Judas, enemy of the country You're branded as an impostor, masquerading in borrowed bloom But everybody know you're a prophet of doom and gloom [Verse 3] "The feteing is over, back to work", That's what the leader says But we hearing giggling and plenty jokes, music blasting upstairs Every day is power outage Unhappy workers on the rampage And all the foodstuff you have spoiling in your fridge Tell me, when will we have dependable services from T&TEC And when will Telco and WASA be able to fix the roads that they wreck Don't try to rock the ship of state with them stupid questions so Accept the status quo and don't play hero [Chorus] You're a nation of complainers, not at all enterprising Just a set of bellyachers, unjustly criticizing BWee, ISCOTT and the MV Tobago is in great shape, we must presume If you say it isn't so, you're a prophet of doom and gloom [Verse 4] Questionable deals made in haste Continue to grow and grow Blatant refusals have replaced The people's right to know Predictions are made daily to rule for a next century And all indications are that it may well be But retrenchment and redundancy beginning to strangle we Inflation and low productivity done take over already The Integrity Commission Plan is a next project also ran Every move they make now is to ensure re-election [Chorus] In this land of steady power failures, people houses in darkness On every tree 'round the Savannah displays vociferous politics You have to ask yourself which is worse between a schizophrenic baboon A megalomaniac, and a prophet of doom and gloom?
