Lyrics

If I had any doubts, now they gone completely I am living in true democracy If I had any doubts, now they gone completely Our nation stands for true democracy I am referring to that most regrettable disaster Through a corporal, we lost our acting Prime Minister He complained to the Commission And make them kick out poor Solomon Where in the world you could find democracy so? Except in Trinidad and Tobago If was in America, is the corporal that had to go In the first place a man like he Couldn't see the Commission of Inquiry Don't care how he try They would charge him as a spy And tell the public he lie Oh well the good things you do, you never get credit But make one mistake, nobody forget it I agree he was wrong without any doubt Cancelling the charge, letting the boy out But the way how some of these people criticizing You will think Solomon shouldn't have human feelings Just because he in politics he must live he stepson Like old nobody in a cell to get caned with licks Some people saying he too boldface and outta place Some of them vex Because they hear he slap the Doctor in he face But I say Pat Solomon Is still a damn good politician He only made a slip They throw him out with a kick This place too damn democratic Plenty people used to criticize the PNM But the way things turned out is a shock to them They used to say that the Doctor is a dictator Some went as far as to call him a traitor But now they can't be seen even by a blind man What side of the fence the PNM stand I'm sure now they all agree: PNM stands for true democracy In America a shoe shine boy could be president Or a millionaire tomorrow And today he ain't got a black cent For opportunity America ain't bad For democracy I like Trinidad Because the police force get snob A corporal push a knob And the minister lost a good job In most other places it ain't so at all They'll promote Solomon and kick the corporal Although democracy is what they go out and teach You'll never see them practice what you'll hear them preach But the first thing we gave Solomon was a headline Opposition, commission and the corporal in he tail, he bound to resign I really sympathize with he But I still say he wrong for setting the boy free Don't mind you: It is true our nation needs strong men like Solomon Yeah, but no-one is allowed To take the law in their hand OK, drop the charge if you see it fit But it ain't what you do, it's how you do it Solomon acted like a Lord Trying to spare the rod And now he die by the sword
