all the best songs are played by angry souls
we hear the words and do not understand
the sense is best provided by creoles
the batsman always fears the one who bowls
such messages we hear as flat and bland
all the best songs are played by angry souls
you rake the foolish over hotter coals
but do not have the guts just to command
the sense is best provided by creoles
a host of metaphors must still pay tolls
to those who think our language is too grand
all the best songs are played by angry souls
no enemy would hide within the holes
that dot the mountainsides in our fair land
the sense is best provided by creoles
the deepest diggers are not normal moles
under their rule our pains will just expand
all the best songs are played by angry souls
the sense is best provided by creoles
(C)2008, Fragano Ledgister
