holiday
a break from sufferation
you find a way to cope
when your belly full of hope
on the brink of your salvation

holiday
from police intimidation
the lamb dem ah no manger
protect them from the danger
the world need renovation

saddam throat cut off
and the oil price take off
dollars thing go soft
and the youth dem nuh laugh
and all them drop off
and cash plus lock off
and the biggest mac 11 dey a warf

the little island full ah boss
whey nah pay de staff
and world war kick off
and more life a loss
we make more price a cost
we make more rifle pass
wham to the 40 acre and jackass
