- Van Dyke Parks Your Own Comes First 歌詞
- Van Dyke Parks
- If I talk again it could drive me mad
I try to talk to the people of Trinidad
If I talk again it could set me mad
Im tired if talkin to the people of Trinidad
All kinds of people come and doin well
And you the Trinidadians only catchin hell
How many times do you want to be told
Your own comes first all over the world
If you think I lie, I invite you please
Just take a trip through the West Indies
Make your first stop at Grenada
Tell them that you come to look for labor
If you miss and say youre from Trinidad
They lick you from Grenada down to Fyzabad
But you cant blame them on a whole
My friend, thats the policy of the world
So, Granadians for Granadians
Jamaicians for Jamaicians
Even Barbados take the same route
Trinidadians, buck up and follow suit
Well now you really lookin for blows
If you think you goin anchor in Barbados
The Bajuns goin tell you you bloomin fast
Dont you know Bajuns first and outsiders last
Then you heist your anchor to Jamaica
Feelin that your chances might be better
But as Ive led you to understand
Boy, we only have work here for Jamaicans
Im not all selfish, I love to give
And I believe in the slogan live and let live
If the other islands arent doin that
Well I dont see why we should be Miss Howards cat
Its time to go into the reverse
Do like other nations put your people first
You must do as you are told
Or you would be thelaughing stock of the world
