We like it so, we free
Neighbour look, if I was a selfish man
I wouldn't be involved in this election
I done hold already, I want fame
Plus I ain't looking for fortune again
All I asking is that you pay close attention to
The many problems we all face from dawn to dawn
You're intelligent, I think, and you should face issue
But, you're behaving like a moron
Cussing me for where I born
But you pipe ain't have no water
You pay too much for butter
Take your steel beam and go
The terrible school system is such a bloody problem
Take your steel beam and go
Agriculture's in a state, planning is inadequate
Take your steel beam and go
The Northern and Southern idle, the two kingpins of bubble
We know, we like it so
We like it so, we free
Anything that's wrong, he go put it right
Georgie bodge it up with the head and knife
So instead of displaying impatience
Cool yourself and give the fellow a chance
How the hell you could say ONR go do better?
We go send you back Grenada in a drum
We and Georgie, going to put it right together, yeah
We have sweetness and freedom
Plenty roti, plenty rum
Hospitals have no linen, it's brown paper they using
Take your steel beam and go
Public transportation is an abomination
Take your steel beam and go
Well, food, clothes and rent is proof
Cost of living gone through the roof
Take your steel beam and go
Classified information for personal gain is common
We know, we like it so
We like it so, we free
Sparrow boy, you need psychiatric aid
To bend them bourgeois people, but okay
Me afraid to tell you straight to your face
You're backing a jackass in a horse race
Georgie say, "All you ain't getting one damn seat"
ONR come out to mamaguy
Bokassa say, "How all you going to feel the heat?"
The penalty to oppose is high, that's political suicide
We can't get house so we squat, living with cockroach and rat
Take your steel beam and go
Your cesspit flowing over, you could catch yellow fever
Take your steel beam and go
Soldier in bulldozer, break down the shark in Mofa
Take your steel beam and go
It's plenty sexual favors to be a ten days worker
We know, we like it so
We like it so, haha, we free
It ain't have a single thing you could say
Could make me abandon me balisade
No steel beam go fall down on top me head
Sparrow wise up PNM 'til I dead
Buddy, you may be shocked when I tell you this
Hudson Phillips is a Yankee CIA
And the whole of ONR is only communist
They take carnival away and make people work each day
It scares you in a union and can't get recognition
Take your steel beam and go
The unemployment levy murdering everybody
Take your steel beam and go
Children come out of college below elementary knowledge
Take your steel beam and go
We grieving with frustration through maladministration
We know, we like it soThis concern that you showing here for we
Could well cost you your popularity
Francisco how come you ain't understand?
We ain't want no blasted opposition
Just like Georgie Porgie I done sharpen my guillotine
Waiting for the opposition deal
Anytime we catch them only backpedal
I ain't even want no bail, I ain't afraid to make a jail
Food you could produce here is imported from elsewhere
Take your steel beam and go
To fish in your own water is still in Venezuela
Take your steel beam and go
No one to devise for we a good foreign policy
Take your steel beam and go
Bribery and corruption control every decision
We know, we like it so
We like it so
We free
