This is the first track of a trilogy. We wrote these songs for our album because, regardless of what end of the political spectrum you are, we think that we can all agree on the fact that there is severe injustice being carried out across the planet- but not only by soldiers or armies- by people in suits and mansions taking far more than they need.
Everybody is tired of hippie songs around the fire at this point, so we decided to go for a far more aggressive and satirical approach, often singing as the people who perpetrate upon the small.
Musically and melody wise, we wanted to mimic the apparent whimsical nature in which one can just take and take. With power comes responsibility but apparently, nobody wants the latter. So here comes Pandora and we’re perplexed and mortified to find out that it’s so much worse than the Panama papers. Worst of all, everything that the Panama and Pandora Papers reveal, are just one part of a very big and global problem.
lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’m going to a party
I got my money and my molly
Private flight to
Pick up my boy toy in Dubai
He’s real cute, nice butt, nice smile
He ain’t smart but he entertains me for a while In the end of the day
He don’t get in my way
There is one thing on my mind
[Bridge]
There’s a party in Panama Party in Panama
Party in Panama
Party
Party
[Chorus]
Take my mother
Take my brothers
Take my sons and my daughter
And all our lovers
Come on
Take my country
Dance, dance, hungry!
Check my blouse and my favourite house You can’t run me
[Verse 2]
I’m all jacked up
Economics on the radio are all cranked up They take you out
They bring you down
But I don’t care because I’m out of town Hey, don’t give up
If you work it like I work it
You’ll be all set up
Don’t feel bad, don’t feel cruel
Look after number one
And number one is you
[Chorus]
Take my mother
Take my brothers
Take my sons and my daughter
And all our lovers
Come on
Take my country
Dance, dance, hungry!
Check my blouse and my favourite house You can’t run me
[Bridge]
There’s a party in Panama
Party
Party
Party
Party
Party
Party
Party
Party
Party
in Panama
in Panama
in Panama
in Panama
in Panama
