Set sail from the island shores
Told of the streets that were paved with gold
We were cheap labour right after the war
A pie in the sky we were searching for
Our mamas and papas came over and got no respect
When they came for work
And sent for our brothers and sisters
Who left all the sunshine
To be treated like dirt....so now
Dem a throw dirty water in our face
We came here and got no love only hate
So we are tired to eat up the crumbs pon your plate
....can't wait
I just can't wait, no way
....can't wait
I just can't wait, now, no way
Give one good reason why you do that
We ain't got completion to get the connection
To be in position for the right direction
Wow know
We've got wounds from old slavery
And even today they refuse to heal
Just like a scapegoat we almost feel
Cause we have been given a very raw deal
The last to be hired the first to be fired oh yes
Still remains the same
We built up your country and foretold your wars
Any crises we would get the blame so now
Can't wait, I just can't wait no way
Can't wait, I just can't wait
Gimme back me shilling with mi lion pon it
Gimme back me land flowing with milk and honey
Back away with your name calling us Jungle Bunny
You tell too much blasted lie with your tarzan movie
Can't wait, I just can't wait
Just give me one good reason why you do that!
