about
Banana Boats Come Dead Baby Arrive is a song about work that many people do in order to survive but also happens to contribute to the world's problems. The elites do this so that the blame can be shared - making us all equally guilty.
lyrics
Wake me up early every Monday morning
Walk up to the beach and with hardly a warning
I’m forced to find work in the factory
To try to make a living for my family
Banana boats come; dead baby arrive
So I wander ‘round the docks in search of occupation
I’m sure I’ll some work with my dedication
I’m stupid – I have never learned from history
I’ll have to find another way to be free because
Banana boats come; dead baby arrive
I walk up to me hut – there’s no food on the table
My woman says to me ‘John, see if you’re able…
To try to get a job at the armory…
Today’s nuclear advancements offers opportunities, since…’
Banana boats come; dead baby arrive
Wake me up early every Monday morning
Walk up to the beach – now I’ll give you a warning
What you’re about to see is part of a design
The rest is still the future waiting for the time when
Banana boats come; dead baby arrive
