kobo town – kaiso newscast lyrics
if i had the choice i would choose
to live back when calypso brought the news
if i had the choice i would choose
to live right back when calypso brought the news
no more reporters, no anchormen
no recorder, no pad and pen
no nosy cameras to point and shoot
no red ink to cross out the truth
three cheers, three cheers america
i hear how allyuh catch a dictator
went down in a hole to catch a mouse
while a rat livin’ large in the white house (x2)
kaiso don’t use jargon or doublespeak
to place the truth beyond your reach
no more big words to bus’ your brain
even the weatherman would be talking plain
no nonsense terms like gale and squall
instead you hear “wind pelting big tree and all”
and we don’t need no picture from outer sp-ce
to tell we what is going on in front we face
flood, flood, flood in port-of-spain
investment dollars falling down like rain
rush, rush, everything has a price
in trinidad, petroleum paradise
trinidad, petroleum paradise
trinidad, petroleum paradise
[instrumental break]
kaiso better than fox news or cnn
because calypso don’t pretend
to inform without comment
or separate fact from argument
it don’t hide behind stats and figures
admits its sources are gossip and rumour
but you will never hear how bin laden was seen
liming with chavez down by the muslimeen
