TABLES TURN - Beautiful Nubia and the Roots Renaissance Band

The young man standing laughing
But he knows where the shoe dey pain am so
He no fit do anything today
But one day, the tables will turn
The little children on the street
Working hard so they can eat
Dem no fit do anything today
But one day, the tables will turn
My sister with the sexy eyes
Selling her body so she can live
She no fit do anything today
But one day, the tables will turn
So my brothers don't you see
We must bring some sanity over here
How can one person have so much
While so many have none?

The average man doesn't ask for much
He only wants what you and I want -
A safe place to lay his head at night
Is that too much to ask?
He wants his kids to go to good schools
So they can become somebody
He wants them grow up healthy and strong
Is that too much to ask?
So when you build your mansions
And drive around in your fancy cars
Remember to think of the little man
Cos one day, the tables will turn 2ce
So my sisters don't you see...

People keep on struggling
Meditate on the words of the wise
A lie may stand for a thousand years
But one day the truth will reign
Mothers put away your worries
Wipe away your flowing tears
We no fit do anything today
But one day the tables will turn
Little children listen up
We may be down but we're not out
We must not give up on our dreams
One day, your time will come
So my people don't you see...

The poor man stands there laughing
But he knows where the shoe dey pain am so
Him no fit do anything today
But one day, the tables will turn
