IMF - Terry Lynn

A team from the IMF which is currently in Jamaica

Is wrapping up a four day visit

For a technical assessment

Of the country’s financial situation…

«The issue is to make globalization

Work for the benefit of all

There will not be a good future for the rich

If there is no prospect for a better future

For the pure…

Poor»

Them go build up them place for them investment

Bout them interest rates so where the interest went

None for the poor me no see no evidence

Who pay the revenue ain’t got no residence

On the avenue so they can’t pitch no tent

Govey gon with the loot the 100 percent

Not share the fruit not even one tenth

So tell me how the youths them feel content?

There will not be a good future for the rich if there is not prospect for a

better future for the pure, poor

Pure, poor

Pure, poor

When IMF do the lending

The gormandizer them descending

Raid the barn run away with the corn now

Tell me what them defending

The money done so them start the pretending

Like it’s the roadway them use it mending

Think slavery days gone but still been going on now

When shall it come to an ending

We shout solidarity

And we can’t get no help from them policy

Our plight is not their priority

All we see is just partiality

From government and police brutality

Human rights justice equality

Is for the rich to increase popularity none for the majority

No funds for the charity me check out the chemistry

Only the ghetto youth inna the cemetery

Them go use the money build up penitentiary

And don’t see education elementary

It’s the key to the 21st century the only entry

You lament in parliament naw make no sense to me

So listen up

Our problems too numerous to mention

Till we a seek some divine intervention

Give me way make me address the convention

Tell me where’s the old lady’s pension

Hey

What’s the plan for the youths in detention

And for the poor who need some attention

Tell me what about the crisis prevention

You all forgot these things when you win your election

There will not be a good future for the rich if there is no prospect for a

better future for the pure… poor
