Peter Tosh-The Day The Dollar Die
 
30 year old track, but the lyrics could have been based on this weeks news!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPmrWwNeuKE
I see Johnny with his head hanging down
Wondering how many schillings left in that pound
Cost of living it is rising so high
Dollar see that have heart attack and die

Bills and budgets are waiting
Finance ministers anticipating
Unemployment is rising
And I hear my people, they're crying

peter was right, he was too culturally black for the mainstream..

and unlike other reggae, he never sugar coated shit, if he was angry, he wrote an angry song, if he was bitterly depressed, he lamented on the album, and gave you the honest music of a real man, and not the imaginative or idealized versions that most of us musicians sing or create. He was a true bluesman of the reggae scene..

pick myself up
