Junior Byles & The Upsetters - The Thanks We Get

[DJWHITEOWL76]

Yo, Brooklyn Dodger, it means:

look at what the peaceful people do for society. Look how the dreads and the religious people are peaceful, building the schools and houses the rich live in and send their kids to school in. Then they " shit " in the road, for the poor workers to clean.

It means that the rich of society are not thankful , just greedy!

Lee Perry produced. Genius song!

[TheBrooklynDodger]

I have loved this song for ages. But does anyone know what it's about? I'm so bad at understanding patois.
