Pirates Anthem Songtext
von Shabba Ranks feat. Coca Tea and Home T

Peoples station
A the system, DTI, outlaw dem
Because we love dem

Dem a call us pirates
Dem a call us illegal broadcasters
Just because we play what the people want
And dem a call us pirates
Dem a call us illegal broadcasters
DTI try stop us, but they can′t

One station, dem couldn't run England
Two station, dem couldn′t run England
Three stations, dem could not please the nation
Everybody want fi listen to the B station
Advertizers stay true from your session
Him a take we equipment and a put it in a box
If dem brought down one, build five more strong - strong


Down in England we've got lots of radio stations
Playing the people's music night and day, ye-yeah
Reggae, calypso, hip-hop, or disco
The latest sound today is what we play
On and off (off and on), off and on, on and off and on, eh

Fo me say if dem turn it off, we a gon′ turn it on back
If dem broke it down, we a gon′ build it up back
If dem put it down, we a gon' fill it up back
And me love play station, and me love dem too a much
We release and dem play it, album shot
Him a take we equipment and a put it in a box
If dem brought down one, it′s five build up back

Dem a call us pirates
Dem a call us illegal broadcasters
Just because we play what the people want
And dem a call us pirates
Dem a call us illegal broadcasters
DTI try stop us, but they can't, no

One station, dem couldn′t run England
Two station, dem couldn't run England
Three stations, dem could not please the nation
Everybody want fi listen to the B station


They′re passing laws
They're planning legislation
Trying their best to keep the music down
DTI, won't you leave us alone
We only play the music others want
On and off, off and on, on and off and on

Fo me say if dem turn it off, we a gon′ turn it on back
If dem broke it down, we a gon′ build it up back
If dem take a we record, then we get fresh back
And me love these stations, and me love dem too a much
We release and dem play it, album shot
DTI a fight but dem can't stop that
A the public station for they can′t say you're wrong
Cause dem a idiot
Dem a fi take back dem chat
And we love the music
Baldhead and Dreadlocks

Dem a call us pirates
Dem a call us illegal broadcasters
Just because we play what the people want
And dem a call us pirates
Dem a call us illegal broadcasters
DTI try stop us, but they can′t, oh no they can't

Fo me say if dem turn it off, we a gon′ turn it on back
If dem broke it down, we a gon' build it up back
If dem take a we record, then we get fresh back
And me love these stations, and me love dem too a much
We release and dem play it, album shot
DTI a fight but dem can't stop that
A the public station for they can′t say you′re wrong
Cause dem a idiot
Dem a fi take back dem chat
And we love the music
Baldhead and Dreadlocks

Dem a call us pirates
