Distasteful Political Games

Mi conflicted wid how fi vote 
It look like them politican yah will destroy anybody fi a vote. 
Mi look to the sky and wonder ... God, a yuh one cam show mi how fi vote 
JLP rock with scandal and PNP playing political chess wid people life! 
Mi conflicted wid how fi vote! 
 
You tell me after 25 years the PNP bring up Mrs Warren mistake ...wait a second, Mr. Paulwell you have a few mistakes of your own! Since we must fire her ... I guess we shouldn't vote fi yuh!

Mr. Paulwell is only you alone have youthful exuberance?
Mi have a problem with that 
We must put you in Jamaica House and tell this 57 year old woman to go home because of a mistake 25 years ago?
Distasteful political games!
Only you entitle to make mistakes?
Seriously Mr Paulwell!

Where is Norman Manley ... we need the voice of the dead to speak ... Sir, we need yuh help
Them a destroy yuh party 
I guess the party that was built on "putting people first" just forgot its mantra 
It's anything for a vote these days
Where are the values and attitudes 
Where is the heart 
I guess the new mantra is "win at all costs" 
Distasteful political games are at play
Any price to win...by any means to Jamaica House

You will not get my vote on the back of a woman that has given back to so many including me.
Distasteful political games!
Where is your heart Mr Phillip Paulwell 
I guess power has taken its toll on you ...
It's party before people 
Using people as political pawns ...
Distasteful political games!
