Trickle on Down

from Trickle on Down by Dada Veda

/

about

The title track, “Trickle on Down,” is a lively reggae tune that tells the story of global economic inequality, or as Dada writes, the song is “modern economics explained in 4 ½ minutes.”

lyrics

Let's fight for the rights of the wealthiest few
One day, who knows, we may get there too.
Some say greed is good, and greed is great
So grab what you can before it's too late.

Trick, trick, trickle on down,
Trickle on down to you and me
Trick, trick, trickle, trickle on down,
It's a fairy tale you'll never see.

Don't worry if the loot goes right to the top
It's gonna trickle down to water your crops
Let the poor of the world stand up on their feet
Even though we know they're already beat.

Trick, trick, trickle on down,
Trickle on down to you and me
Trick, trick, trickle, trickle on down,
It's a fairy tale you'll never see.


I went to school and studied the books
And found our dreams have been stolen by crooks
I traveled the world and met lots of folk
Most of them were already broke.
