Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This one's fi all di politician dem
Accurate, Immaculate

Inna yuh face dem a smile up
Behind you back a money dem a pile up
Try fi start yuh business and dem quick fi spoil up
Hey
Well done, well done, Mr. Politician Man
You done a wonderful job a tear down we country, demolition man
Well done, Well done, Mr. Politician Man (I hope you happy)
You done a such a great job selling out we country with you business plan

Well you fi get a round of applause, fi all the work you doing
Decisions weh you mek weh lef di country inna ruins yow
Strictly personal gain yuh pursuing
So di tax rates higher dan di planes weh yuh flew in
(Dem gone) fi go mek you deal with the IMF
Now we nuh have no bauxite nor no sugar cane left
Di hotels and the beaches, di Spanish dem go screechie
Me nuh know how all you dweet
But all me haffi say is

Well done, well done, Mr. Politician Man
(I must congratulate you)
You done a wonderful job a tear down we country, demolition man
Well done, Well done, Mr. Politician Man
You done a such a great job selling out we country with you business plan

A wah kind a plan
Which is to keep poverty and unemployment on the rise
Corruption and not to mention the lies
Elections a wen the tension arise
So you buy we Kentucky not to mention the fries
Anything fi secure your votes
And then you rob the people fi secure your boat
Fi go a Goat island weh the Chinese own
The whole Jamaica is a Chinese loan
Me tell you

Well done, Well done, Mr. politician man
You've done a wonderful job a tear down we country demolition man
Well done, Well done, Miss politician lady
You've done a such a great job selling out we country
And you still nuh pay we

But still if inflation was a test you woulda get A+
So when me mek the US the exchange rate buck
For the dollar getting weaker
And the solar light bill it woulda cheaper
But a JPS you prefer keep yah
Ebenezer, so you Scrooge pon the ghetto people
Weh you starve and every year you buy a better vehicle
Di things you do a beat we bad
But still you manage fi keep your job
So me ah tell you

Well done, Well done
Mr politician man (Tek we money and you gone)
You've done a wonderful job and tear down we country, demolition man
Well done, Well done
Miss politician lady (Why you a gwaan so)
You've done a such a great job selling out we country
Comeen like Humpty Dumpty now

Congratulate dem enuh
Yeah man give thanks fi di effort enuh
Yah man a nuff tings unno a gwaan wid enuh
But the youths dem see it still
So we give thanks
Yah man
