Try A Screw To Get Through Lyrics & Chords By The Tiger

The government should really deal more leniently
With the unemplyed of this country
The government should really deal more leniently
With the unemplyed of this country
Work's nowhere I mean you have a rent to pay
The money in circulation is decreasing everyday

After all there is no work to do
We boun' to try a screw to get through

You may look for work it's natural of course
But if your money finish you have no resource
Richard Dix said Man must live it's widely known
How must we live on our bed of stone
You'll have to play wappy, dice or rummy
Or take some han' in negromancy
Open your brain if you can' make money
Or join the game of burg-u-lary

They'd only need a little of salvation
To notice a change in this lere lan'
Mango crop we can hardly see
Breadfruit gone out entirely
Cossada we just eat now and again
Well everything is now thrown up on poor sugar cane

After all there is no work to do
We boun' to try a screw to get through

An ol' man told me one day quite plain
When are we going to the city on the midday train
When he was a boy in eighteen ninety four
He was a king to we boys who were naked and poor
I know a boy who play Hawaiian music in his nose
One have a bottle as a bass, heaven knows

After all there is no work to do
We boun' to try a screw to get through

Collegiates are working in Toco Bay
Wearing their suits, can't get work today
With all their education some bite their nails
Play whe-whe break shop or live in jail
It's rather hard in this land of Trinidad
The living conditions is enough to drive us mad

After all there is no work to do
We boun' to try a screw to get through
