Banned in Saint Lucia - Part 2
'Time to Go' by the Ambassador's Calypso Tent's Dean Roberts, has also been banned in Saint Lucia on "The Nation's Station". The reason? It is potentially libellous. Here are the lyrics. What do you think?
Time to Go - Dean Roberts
Verse 1
When we put flambeau in office; we expected them to do well
To uphold and keep their promise; to help the country excel
But them no good politicians; just take us for a ride
Down the road to self destruction; on a nationwide suicide
They broke away from China; for pocket money from Taiwan
Disrespect and kill our leader; and them fight for his position
King end up as prime minister, with a shaky foundation
So is blunder after blunder; like they want to cripple our nation
Chorus 1
Time to go Flambeau; time to go
We can’t wait till tomorrow, it’s time to go
Time to go Flambeau; time to go
We can’t wait one more hour, it’s time to go
The whole country under strain, from all the hardship and all the pain
We just can’t take it again; we have to flush them down the drain, down the drain
Verse 2
With incompetence in government; let’s admit we made a mistake
Such a shameful embarrassment; for the citizens of this state
Criminals inside de cabinet; all of them disrespecting King
They say he’s just a puppet; someone else pulling the string
They claim to have vision; yet we still moving off track
Heading in the wrong direction; time to take the country back
But when I look at the opposition; they had put water in our eyes
So if they really learn their lesson; maybe now we can compromise
Chorus 2
Time to go Flambeau; time to go
We can’t wait till tomorrow, it’s time to go
Time to go Flambeau; time to go
We can’t wait one more hour, it’s time to go
There are no signs of progress; everyone feeling the stress
So come and join the protest; we have to clean up all this mess, all this mess
Verse 3
Nearly two and a half years later; it seems that we have no choice
To avoid impending disaster; all of us must speak with one voice
Speak out loud so they can hear us; time for positive
Dem fellas too damn ruthless, to govern our nation
King can’t handle the pressure; best for him to step down
Time to reconsider; time to call fresh elections
This time let us remember; the future of our children
Sons and daughters of Saint Lucia; let us rescue our land
Chorus 3
Time to go Flambeau; time to go
We can’t wait till tomorrow, it’s time to go
Time to go Flambeau; time to go
We can’t wait one more hour, it’s time to go
Food and gas prices increase; every week a new crisis
We can no longer resist; it’s in our country’s best interest, best interest
