Crash

Asian Dub Foundation

New crash is coming



Watch out if dem try to tek away your sight

Boom an a gloom, recession it a loom

For de second time in ten years monies starting to get tight

Better tek cover 'cos de crash is coming soon

Lock, stockbrokers and two smoking barrels

Spun de roulette wheel an a you won de first time

So forget bout prayers an a your christmas carols

Welcoming de new year back on de breadline



New crash is coming



Pointing de index finger at meaningless figures

Dow Jones, Wall Street, nikkei they all lied

Speculator, golddigger an free market ligger

Here comes a fist up your backside

Pacific rim panic, taking de tooth from de tiger

Financial fallout overriding de geiger

A war of nerves between the us an Japan

Once again de underdogs end up carrying de can



Watch out if dem try to tek away your sight

Boom an a gloom, recession it a loom

For de second time in ten years it's your money or your life

Better tek cover 'cos de crash is coming soon

International monetary foul play

Talking doublespeak is de order of de day

Freetrade, slavetrade, slip dem a bung an call it aid

Gurus, fakirs: witness de mess dat they have made



It's de end of history, we say it's just de beginning

Struggle for de truth no more doctors will be spinning

Pilger prophecised de profits of de city

Media mogul dying wid his hand inna de kitty

We live in de world that time begatt

Time to check de data debris an change de format

All de way from de frontline here comes de backlash

Bad news out national announcing de crash!
