War Lyrics by Growling Tiger

High Priest Of Mi Minor: Knockdown Calypsos

1979

[Intro]
I get up in the morning and I watch at the sky
Sometimes I does wonder why
When I get up in the morning and I watch at the sky
Sometimes I does wonder why

[Verse 1]
If it's meh planet to sign men destination
Or to put calypsonian to meet their destruction
It is sorrow and affliction with the rising generation of this irie land

[Verse 2]
When I was a boy at the age of five
And me nice old grandfather he was alive
He said, "Tiger, come to me"
He said, "Sit down upon my knees"
He said, "Boy, I will read your [?] and your [?] is to rule ovеr man and earth"
So I sorry for the molestеr who invited, Tiger
Just imagine me

[Verse 3]
Who was your teacher then your schoolmaster?
Have you ever had a technical adviser?
Boy, you can step on the love of the [?]
Of course, you're a perfect stranger
You're father went to jail for a keg of nail
And you received a cat-of-nine-tails
I can see that your hideous, ingenerous, and barbarous
That is what I know

[Verse 4]
You start to curse, you start to abuse
Better word from you, no, cannot be used
If people here take from far and near
And something good they would like to hear
Why don''t you just play some [?]
[?] you grew up in ignorance
Is this a proper inspiration for the younger generation?
Santimanite

[Verse 5]
One of the boys crying in the wilderness all the while I'm trying to stop death's [?]
To say [?] artistry
[?] class and integrity
Maintain, you stand there for me as a [?]
When you are composing your calypso
While your music is great
You can't relate
You will meet a terrible fate
