Lyrics Linton Kwesi Johnson

Linton Kwesi Johnson

Tings An' Times

Duped

Doped

Demoralised

Dizzied

Dozed

Traumatized

Blinded by resplendent lite of love

Dazzled by di firmament of freedom

I'm couldn deteck deceit

All wen it kick I'm in I'm teet

I'm couldn cry khorupshon

An believe inna man

I'm nevvah know bout cleek

I'm did umble an meek

I'm nevvah know intrigue

I'm nevvah inna dat deh league

I'm nevvah andahstan

Dat on di road to sawshalism

Yu could buck-up nepotism

I'm wife dangerous

I'm bredda tretchero

An I'm kozn very vicious

Duped

Doped

Demoralised

Dizzied

Dozed

Traumatized

Now like a fragile fragment af lite

Trapped inna di belly a di daak night

Like a bline man stuicified an dazed

Last an alone in a mystical maze

Fi days

Upan days

Upan days

Upan days

Watch I'm driffin craus di oweshan of life

Widoutn ruddah nar hankah nar sail

Fi days

Upan days

Upan days

Upan days

Cail I'm flumm af di tides a di times

If yu like

Bus inna di labyrinth af ife

If yu like

Duped

Doped

Demoralised

Dizzied

Dozed

Dozed penalized

Ship,wreek gense di sons of di tides a ch times

Meditorim pan di bud ale days

Face doun pan di gleumin sea shore

Not soh certn not soh sure like before

Di salt a di sea pan di son inno I'm eye

An I'm would qi are houk

If am could cry

Di soun of di surge of di sec

Harmonize wid di swonnin bamboo trees

An I'm brains jus a fick
