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

So we are tired to eat up the crumbs pon your plate

....can't wait

I just can't wait, no way

....can't wait

I just can't wait, now, no way

Give one good reason why you do that



We ain't got completion to get the connection

To be in position for the right direction

Wow know



We've got wounds from old slavery

And even today they refuse to heal

Just like a scapegoat we almost feel

Cause we have been given a very raw deal



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



Can't wait, I just can't wait no way

Can't wait, 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!
