Inglan Is a Bitch
Lyricist:Linton Kwesi Johnson
WÂ'en mi jusÂ' come to Landan toun Mi use to work pan di andahgroun But workinÂ' pan di andahgroun YÂ'u donÂ't get fi know your way around
Inglan is a bitch DereÂ's no escapin it Inglan is a bitch DereÂ's no runninÂ' whey fram it
Mi get a lickle jab in a bih Â'otell AnÂ' awftah a while, mi woz doinÂ' quite well Dem staat mi aaf as a dish-washah But wÂ'en mi tek a stack, mi noh tun clack-watchah
Inglan is a bitch DereÂ's no escapin it Inglan is a bitch No baddah try fi hide fram it
WÂ'en dem giÂ' you di lickle wage packit Fus dem rab it wid dem big tax rackit YÂ'u haffi struggle fi mek enÂ's meet AnÂ' wÂ'en yÂ'u goh a yÂ'u bed yÂ'u jusÂ' canÂ't sleep
Inglan is a bitch DereÂ's no escapin it Inglan is a bitch A noh lie mi a tell, a true
Mi use to work dig ditch wÂ'en it cowl noh bitch Mi did strang like a mule, but bwoy, mi did fool Den awftah a while mi jusÂ' stap dhu ovahtime Den awftah a while mi jusÂ' phu dung mi tool
