Dirty H2O lyrics with English Translations
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 Dem a throw dirty water in our face So we are tired to eat up the crumbs 'pon your plate Can't wait! I just can't wait, no way I just can't wait I just can't wait, now, I just can't wait, no way
We ain't got completion to get the connection To be in position for the right direction Wow, now, hey
We've got wounds from old slavery And even today they refuse to heal Just like a scapegoat we almost feel, yeah
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
Dem a throw dirty water in our face We came here and got no love, only hate Dem a throw dirty water in our face So we are tired to eat up the crumbs 'pon your plate Can't wait! I just can't wait, no way I just can't wait I just can't wait, now, 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!
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
