Chorus
Do you expect me to turn

and the people seh dem
tired of being poor
a that the emperess a chant
and the lion a roar
Verse 2
Even the richest man haffi go

why dont you cure the disease
You know things must really get wicked
When your paycheck is less
than your speeding ticket

But everything no so criss sah

Do you expect me to turn
the other cheek
