paroles de chanson Ah Diggin' Horrors - Mighty Sparrow feat. Sparrow's Calypso Troubadours

Cos' ah livin' stranglin' everybody
No food in de house to feed yuh family
It's ah free-for-all here, I'm afraid
I believe we need psychiatric aid
Unscrupulous employers, an' unscrupulous workers couldn't care less
Dis place in ah mess!

Ah diggin' horrors, ah diggin' de blues
Anytime ah choose to peruse de daily news
Ah diggin' horrors because
All ah read about is guerrillas, more laws an' wars!

Lootin', shootin', riotin' an rapin'
Nurses aiding mad people in escapin'
Lord, wid all dis resentment an' hate
Meh blood pressure in ah terrible state!
Unions creatin' confusion, police gettin' brutal in de lan'
Meh heart in meh han'!

Ah diggin' horrors, ah diggin' de blues
Anytime I choose to peruse de daily news
Ah diggin' horrors because
All ah read about is hijackers, more laws an' wars!

Bobball wid de big boys up in WASA
De Pompey Stadium is ah disaster!
Discontentment in de Central Bank
Inflation eatin' away at de flank!
Scarcity of rice an' sugar, taxi fares gone up wid milk an' flour,
Starvatio' eh far!

Ah diggin' horrors, ah diggin' de blues
Anytime I choose to peruse de daily news
Ah diggin' horrors because
All ah read about is murderers, more laws an' wars!

De telephone workers always strikin'
Oil an' sugar workers on de streets marchin'
Students on de campus complainin'
Public servants join an' protestin'!
Postal workers on ah go slow, sanitation men spreadin' gastro
Ah can' take no more!

Ah diggin' horrors, ah diggin' de blues
Anytime I choose to peruse de daily news
Ah diggin' horrors because
All ah read about is kidnappers, more laws an' wars!
