Kiap Song Lyrics by Not Drowning, Waving

Tabaran

0

The Strong Chimbu man looks straight ahead
And he hears his masta's voice, yes he's lost his nerve again
And the kiap shouts, the big buffoon
He yells his orders through the coffee trees
Yeah, well that's the way it's done up here
Yeah, that's the way it's done up here
That's the way it's done up here
The boss, the boys, the fight up here
That's the way it's done up here
And the hot nights roll on endlessly
And his face is crushed from twenty years of drink
And the Townsville men all own plantations here
They drink at the club with their Philipino brides
Yeah, well that's the life they have up here
Yeah, well that's the way it's done up here
Yeah, well that's the life they have up here
Yeah, well that's the way it's done up here
And the coffee bean stench fills the air
And the heat falls off his brow
And they've worked the fire since morning time
For a lousy three kina a day, well that's all . (tasol)
Well that's the way they're paid up here
The boss, the boys, the fight up here
Yeah, well that's the way it's done up here
That's the way it's done up here
Well that's the way they're paid up here
The boss, the boys, the fight up here
Yeah, well that's the way it's done up here
That's the way it's done up here
That's the way
That's the way
That's the way
Na na na, na na na na na na
Na na na, na na na na na na
Na na na, na na na na na na
Na na na, na na na na na na
Na na na, na na na na na na
Na na na, na na na na na na
