Verse 1
Permit me to sing
dis special tune on Politics, De
pros an’ cons of dis game really
blows my mind, all de time.
Inspired by a politician of the
Matrix, Everything he said
through the passage of time. We
argue and fret when he say his
thing, We strongly object; de
message from deep within. Well I
take some time to analyze his
comments time an’ time again.
Is he right? Is he wrong? Well
we need to know if Politics is just
a game. Games!....ah way yuh say!
Games! Ah way yuh say, way yuh
say. Ah way yuh say. Games! Lord!
Chorus
We rally around
these politicians all de time de
same. Every four or five years,
we registering we name. Just de
pawns of dis games, though we
are the strongest voice, Then our
voice lack meaning as soon as we
make we choice. Is not about we
no more, we does vote out we
voice! And give de control to we
politicians of choice. Then is
promises all de time, though we
know dey leading we blind. The
Matrix-man say: 'We taking a six for
a nine! Then he said: ‘Politics
has a morality of its own!’…Fosto
‘Politics has a morality of its
own!’ Games! – Oh Yeah! Games! –
Oh Yeah! Games! - Lord!
Verse 2
Politicians, they
are not enemies of each other 'If
you feel is so, ah want you to
think again!' is what he said.
We take care of we family and
friends together, Is this
fraternity, we fool de people every
day. We will promise you
everything at election with a lying
tongue. Talking more than Ian
Alleyne, soon as we win we does
change de song Bobol and
corruption is de main part of
politics, in case you don't know
And when we putting down plenty
houses dat is for voter-padding
also. Games! - Games! - Games! -
Games.
Chorus
We rally around these politicians
all de time de same. Every
four or five years, we registering
we name. Just de pawns of dis
games, though we are the
strongest voice, Then our voice
lack meaning as soon as we make
we choice. As soon as dey party
win, de celebration start! An
just as dey swear dem in, they pull
deyself apart. And de promises
vanish like clay, that is the
reality, come what may, The
Matrix-man say: 'Politics has a
morality of its own…. Fosto
Politics has a morality of its own.
Games! - Games! - Games! - Games!
Verse 3
One
point five million people is just a
drop in de ocean. From sixty-two
to now, trillions of dollars
were spent, Heaven knows.
Squandermania and nepotism is just a
fraction, A few greedy people,
dey take all we money an' went.
The poor voters get scrumbs only
from all dat money we had.
Everybody should be wealthy in
Tobago and Trinidad. Politicians
continue to deceive people, time
and time again, doh matter who come
or go. Still we continue to give
we trump card, we like it so!
Games! - Games! - Games! - Games!

pawns of dis game though we are
the strongest voice. Then we
voice lack meaning, as soon as
we make we choice We all should
be millionaires a very long time
ago. God Almighty provided enough
for all right here in Trinbago,
Oh yeah! But de Matrix- man say ah
wrong, If it was so, you couldn't
write this song. P.N.M would have
won from then till Thy Kingdom
Come. But you know, politics has
a morality of its own....Fosto.
Politics has a morality of its own.
Games! - Games! - Games! - Games!
