Every Sound Man Dead Broke

Paroles de « Every Sound Man Dead Broke »

Verse

Mi never mek no money out a dis, not really
Forty year, an mi have a house an a van
Di van older dan mi son, di house need roof
An every dollar weh come in go back inna di box dem
People tink sound man rich, dem see di system
Dem nuh see di four job mi work inna di eighties
Dem nuh see di time mi sell mi car fi a amp
Dem nuh see di years mi eat rice fi Friday

Chorus

Every sound man dead broke
An every sound man will do it again
Every sound man dead broke
Cause di money never was di point
Every sound man dead broke
An rich inna somet'ing else

Verse

Mi did have a chance inna ninety-six
A man from foreign want buy di whole ting
Di name, di system, di Friday, everyt'ing
Enough money fi buy two house cash
Mi wife did want it, an she was right fi want it
We did have two pickney an a leaking roof
Mi seh no, an dat cost mi somet'ing
It cost mi tings mi cyaa put inna no song

Chorus

Every sound man dead broke
An every sound man will do it again
Every sound man dead broke
Cause di money never was di point
Every sound man dead broke
An rich inna somet'ing else

Bridge

She stay, mi wife, she never leave
Thirty-four year, an she still nah come a di dance
She seh she hear it through di wall enough already
An dat a true, she hear it every Friday of her life
Mi never seh thank you proper fi dat
So mi a seh it here, inna a song she nah go hear
Doreen, di house woulda been better wid di money
But yuh did know weh mi woulda been without di sound

Chorus

Every sound man dead broke
An every sound man will do it again
Every sound man dead broke
Cause di money never was di point

Outro

An rich inna somet'ing else
An rich inna somet'ing else
Rich inna somet'ing else
