|
[Verse 1] |
|
The rule of the tyrants decline |
|
The year, 1979 |
|
From Uganda to Nicaragua |
|
It's bombs and bullets all the time |
|
So they corrupt, so they vile |
|
So it's coup after coup all the while |
|
Human rights they violate |
|
They thought they were so great |
|
So in disgrace now they live in exile |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Gairy is a wanted man |
|
Idi Amin is a wanted man |
|
Shah of Iran tried so hard to survive |
|
He, too, is wanted dead or alive |
|
[Verse 2] |
|
Strikes, demonstrations & wars |
|
Injustice is always the cause |
|
Politicians turn too soon from |
|
Poor people into tycoons |
|
Corruption must bring harass |
|
South African Vorster resign in disgrace |
|
Muzurewa take away Ian Smith place |
|
The Uganda devil was easily cat straddled |
|
Beaten up and chased - what a waste |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Gairy is a wanted man |
|
Patrick John is a wanted man |
|
The Shah of Iran try so hard to survive |
|
He too was wanted dead or alive |
|
[Verse 3] |
|
The Shah have a short time to live |
|
Because the Ayatollah don't forgive |
|
When you see church ruling state |
|
With pure vengeance and hate |
|
Situation must be explosive |
|
General Somoza from Nicaragua |
|
Thought it was easy with the Sandinistas |
|
With the help of Venezuela, Panama and Cuba |
|
They kick him straight to America |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Gairy is a wanted man |
|
Bokassa is a wanted man |
|
Ali Bhutto try so hard to survive |
|
He too was wanted dead or alive |
|
[Verse 4] |
|
Grenadian mongoose was bad and so brave |
|
They send the old bishop straight to the grave |
|
After that well Gairy skip town |
|
With the diary of the Obeah gong |
|
No more people to enslave |
|
Trinidad neighbors all expectedin' mayhem |
|
Anytime anything can happen to them |
|
Eric Williams taking a backseat to avoid Bacchanal |
|
But everybody know he 'fraid gyal |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Gairy is a wanted mam |
|
Park Chung Hee was a wanted man |
|
Acheam Pong fight so hard to survive |
|
He too was wanted dead or alive |
