Lyrics Paye - Mighty Sparrow

Paye

It’s a shame, it’s a shame
But we have we self to blame
It’s a shame, it’s a shame
But we have we self to blame
Because we ask for new Government
Now they’re taking every cent
Cost of living is the same
It is really a burning shame
Because the Doctor say to pay as you earn
But Sparrow say you paying to learn
And me father say he sharpening the axe
For when the collctor come to pay off the income tax
Plnty people want to cry
They miss the water, the well run dry
But they can’t do a thing about it
The money ain’t going in the Doctor pocket
First of all we want better schools
For your children won’t grow up as fools
Then work for you and me
That is what plenty of them can’t see
