Put Your Country First

23.OCT.09

by I-Pa (c) 1992

1. This country is full of diehards and strong heads
Most of them believe they cant feel the pinch
Lord they are strong supporters you can believe that

Some on they job they skylarking, doing anything

You see if we only work hand in hand and unite as one
Lord our nation will really make a move on

I know merchants who finance party to be in charge
And when they cant get what they want, they just turn around, turn around
The truth is they just don’t care if they country fall
They forgetting that way government do for one they must do for all
That why I say…
