Lyrics Bettah - Dennis Bovell

Hey Mista Culture
Won't ya leave my
Merchandise alone?

This rip-off gotta stop
Why don't ya plant a crop
Of your own?

Full time now
I and I get low
Oppressor I'm invitin' you
To take a bow
Fed up of existin'
Just on crumbs
Jah know
We barely surviving
Down here in the slums
Say we tired that we got ah
We want bettah

How bad we want
How bad we now
Go listen to I and a chat
We ready fi go there

Well here we are
Me wa' full a s'curity
Cards I make
We shuffle, we dealing
Now you play

Now we know the manifesto invitation
We nah take no more of your legislation
Why should we the worker
Suffer all the while?
And you the executive
Live it up in style?
Say we tired that we got ah
We want bettah

Sign
On the dotted line
Get some of what you're worth
Everything should be fine
Give you a percent
That should take it off the rent
If you don't?
Well you can always
Go live in a tent
Say the whole lot dem
Are all robbah
We tired that we got ah
We want bet-tah
Bettah
Education
We want bettah
Race relation
We want bettah
To build a bettah nation
We want bettah
Appreciation
We want bettah
Not imitation
We want bettah
Accomodation
We want bettah
