Gimme A Break!

Breaking and entering, and spouse abuse
Robberies and beatings, and drug abuse
These things also happens in Wai’alae,
Yet the blame is mostly on Waianae
If Wai’anae is as bad as you say,
Why move here with intentions to stay?
Gimme a break!

Politicians frequent Kahala and Wai’alae,
Yet they shun the coast of Wai’anae
And now to be re-elected,
Kahe to Ka’ena political signs are posted
Faces I’ve never seen or known,
In Wai’anae are now being shown
Gimme a break!

Phoney smiles and eyes that lie,
The bottom line,…..it’s all shibae
I care not for what it’s about
I’ll do my part to vote them out
So……..Give me a break!
