[Verse 1] Busted dreams, tattered jeans Poverty, no self esteem Broken car, no relief All me want to do is run and scream Weather hot, me sweat dripping Me should head down to the beach, go sipping Do relaxing things, cool me head Children all in school, beach to me self instead [Chorus] Busted dreams, tattered jeans Poverty, no self esteem Broken car, no relief All me want to do is run and scream Busted dreams, tattered jeans Poverty, no self esteem Broken car, no relief All me want to do is run and scream [Verse 2] Gonna get me some sun, Lord knows me need no help Jah keep me smoking all the dope like a king all by meself In the absence of life, me only know one ting Hold me faith and walk through the hurt that it bring Kingston town be such a rundown place Back in me youth, me had a wonderful stay Now the business took it over, no time for play And all dem old musicians moved far far away [Chorus] Busted dreams, tattered jeans Poverty, no self esteem Broken car, no relief All me want to do is run and scream Busted dreams, tattered jeans Poverty, no self esteem Broken car, no relief All me want to do is run and scream [Bridge] This use to be my paradise, my home slice back in thee day It was twice as nice, now it slipping away Left to it's own device, all the people paid the price Now no money or prosperity, just a bowl of rice [Chorus] Busted dreams, tattered jeans Poverty, no self esteem Broken car, no relief All me want to do is run and scream Busted dreams, tattered jeans Poverty, no self esteem Broken car, no relief All me want to do is run and scream
