Ky-Mani Marley - Tom Drunk [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey
Let me tell you of a story
'Bout a creature I once knew
Had a wife that was a teacher
And the daughter was it too

He was loved among his neighbors
For the wonders works he's done
For the building of the new church
And the work for rodness funds

But things change and times got rough
And his wife is acting strange
And the friends Tom once knew so well
Just don't seems the same

Now Tom drunk
But Tom's no fool
Just keep it cool, Tom
And stick to the root

Tom drunk
But Tom's no fool
Just keep it cool, Tom
And stick to the root

Now instead of getting better
Things started to get worse
When they dropped off from the ministry
And burnt down Tom's new church

After all the things that Tom had done
It seems like no one care
Now Tom is sitting all alone
Shedding lonely tears

Tom drunk
But Tom's no fool
Just keep it cool, Tom
And stick to the root

Tom drunk
But Tom's no fool
Just keep it cool, Tom
And stick to the root

Oh, oh, no, yeah
Tom drunk
But Tom's no fool
Just keep it cool, Tom
And stick to the root

Tom drunk
But Tom's no fool
Just keep it cool, Tom
And stick to the root

To much stress, can't bare the pressure
So he sips the Devil's water
Reach at home, he rapes his wife
Then he turns and beats his daughter

Can't believe [Incomprehensible]
Then he slowly caught the hammer
Put the fist into his hand
Then he bowed and said the prayer

Oh, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom
Tom is gone, Tom is gone
Oh, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom
Tom is gone Tom is gone

Tom drunk
And played a fool
And lost his crew now
His soul is in the deepest blue

Tom drunk
And played a fool
And lost his crew now
His soul is in the deepest blue

Tom drunk
Played a fool
Tom is drunk now

Tom drunk
And played the fool
And lost his crew now
He lost his crew now

Tom drunk
And played the fool
And lost his crew now
His soul is in the deepest blue

Tom drunk
And played the fool
And lost his crew now
His soul is in the deepest blue, yeah, yeah
