Power to the workers - more power.
Power to the workers - we need more power.
Power to the workers - got to have more power.
Power to the workers - we need more power.
Free zone workers, you working hard every day,
But all the work you do don't get enough pay.
I mad I still don't know why, I still don't know why.
Is minimum wage for your sufferation, have no more toleration.
Hand to mouth can't work! Hey! Hand to mouth can't work!
Oy! Hand to mouth business, no it can't work!
School teachers you working hard educating,
But all the work you do they take you for a play thing.
I mad I still don't know why, I still don't know why!
Is little bit a pay for your contribution,
And you mean so much to the nation.
Hand to mouth can't work! Hey! Hand to mouth can't work!
Oy! Hand to mouth business, no it can't work!
Me say me naah get enough good weh day,
All thema work is like them naah get no pay.
Naah get enough food from weh day,
All the work we work is like we naah get no pay.
Watching everything go up in inflation,
Food price go up and man pay a go down,
Ask some a them, them telling short long,
But in a corner we wings and a jam.
Ragga, ragga a watch the notion,
Say we naah get no good food from weh day.
Naah sow no good seed from weh day.
Naah sow no good seed from weh day.
Naah get enough food from weh day.
Our nurses saving lives every day,
But all the lives you save you don't get enough pay.
I mad I still don't know why, I still don't know why.
Is little bit a pay for your life savings,
What a grave they're digging.
Hand to mouth can't work! Oy! Hand to mouth can't work!
Hey! Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, can't work!
Now our farmers them digging hard every day,
But all the food they grow import them a say.
That make me mad, that make me mad, mad, mad, mad.
Mad, mad, mad, mad.
Is little bit a pay for your mama too,
And your sister got to shop for two.
Hey! Hand to mouth can't work! Yo a yo!
Hand to mouth can't work! Tell dem this:
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, can't work!
Oh civil servants, you working hard every day,
And you sweating out for your pay,
But I man still don't know why.
Still don't know why is little bit a pay,
Everyday what you got to take away.
Woy! woy! woy! woy! woy!
Me say me naah get enough good from weh day,
All the talk we talk is like we naah,
Naah get no good yood from weh day,
All the bawl we bawl say them no hear wha we a say.
Workers a the backbone a the whole island,
Don't treat them right is total confusion.
Can't go no doctor for no medication,
School but no teacher no education.
Pay more dollars to the foundation.
Naah get enough pay from weh day,
Nusician a suffer but a play same way.
Engineer a bawl how him pay too small,
Can't build him house with no concrete wall.
Bass man a cry 'bout him can't get string,
Have the contacts and can't bring them in.
Raggamuffin DJ and sing!
Lord naah get enough good from weh day,
All the talk we talk is like we naah, Lord!
Naah get no good yood from weh day,
All the bawl we bawl say them no hear wha we a say.
Watching everything go up in inflation,
Food price go up and man pay a good down.
Some a them them telling short, long,
Ragga, ragga deh pon the version,
Ziggy, zaggy a watch the movements.
