Lyrics

In this time when there are too many leaders
Not enough farmers, not enough teachers
Politicians, they all are cheaters
What about the fisherman?
What about the fisherman?
Him want his fish from the sea
The water's too murky, too hard to see
And the farmerman, him want to plant his kalo
The lo'i's dry and the land is fallow
And teachers them go to school everyday
Children must work so the rent is paid
And dreams cannot grow
If there's no hope for tomorrow
In this time when there are too many leaders
Not enough farmers, not enough teachers (calling all the farmerman)
Politicians, they all are cheaters
What about the fisherman?
In this time when there are too many leaders
Not enough farmers, not enough teachers
Politicians, they all are cheaters
What about the fisherman?
Stay away, away, with your poisoning
Don't know how much more she can stand
Stay away, away, so we can fight another day
Only water can fill up Jah land
Stay away, away, with your poisoning
Don't know how much more she can stand
Stay away, away, so we can fight another day
Only water, only water
If you listen closely you can hear her cry
Like rain falls like tears from her eyes
We got to get back to Jah land
And get a little dirt on our hands
And if you never try you'll never know
Plant your seed and it will grow
In this time when there are too many leaders
Not enough farmers, not enough teachers (calling all the farmerman)
Politicians, they all area cheaters
What about the fisherman?
Yes to all my maka'ainana
He ali'i no keia 'aina
To all my maka'ainana
He ali'i no keia 'aina
Oh farmerman, plant your kalo
And fisherman row, fisherman row
In this time when there are too many leaders
Not enough farmers, not enough teachers (calling all the farmerman)
Politicians, they all are cheaters
What about the fisherman?
In this time when there are too many leaders
Not enough farmers, not enough teachers
Politicians, they all are cheaters
What about the fisherman?
What about the fisherman?
What about the farmerman, yeah?
Oh farmerman grow!
What about the fisherman?
Fisherman row, fisherman row
What about the farmerman?
Stay Away
