Linton Kwesi Johnson - Inglan Is a Bitch lyrics



wÂ'en mi jusÂ' come to Landan toun
mi use to work pan di andahgroun
but workinÂ' pan di andahgroun
yÂ'u donÂ't get fi know your way around

Inglan is a bitch
dereÂ's no escapin it
Inglan is a bitch
dereÂ's no runninÂ' whey fram it

mi get a lickle jab in a bih Â'otell
anÂ' awftah a while, mi woz doinÂ' quite well
dem staat mi aaf as a dish-washah
but wÂ'en mi tek a stack, mi noh tun clack-watchah

Inglan is a bitch
dereÂ's no escapin it
Inglan is a bitch
no baddah try fi hide fram it

wÂ'en dem giÂ' you di lickle wage packit
fus dem rab it wid dem big tax rackit
yÂ'u haffi struggle fi mek enÂ's meet
anÂ' wÂ'en yÂ'u goh a yÂ'u bed yÂ'u jusÂ' canÂ't sleep

Inglan is a bitch
dereÂ's no escapin it
Inglan is a bitch
a noh lie mi a tell, a true

mi did strang like a mule, but bwoy, mi did fool

Inglan is a bitch
dereÂ's no escapin it

dem seh dat black man is very lazy
but if yÂ'u si how mi wok yÂ'u woulda sey mi crazy
