UB40 Album

Mankind must put an end to war
Or war will end mankind
Ask just who you are fighting for
And who's the mastermind
Question what we're doing here
How long can we sustain
The guilt that feeds upon our fear
We pass the buck but not the blame

It's easy to be bold and brave
From a thousand miles away
It's easy to pontificate
Live to fight another day
It's easy when the bullets are
An echo of a ricochet
But the quickest way to end a war
Is drop your guns and walk away

And once again we find ourselves
Upon the fields of war
It seems like all our yesterdays
Are on repeat but furthermore,
It would appear we didn't learn
The lessons from/of our past
The war we fought to end all wars
Secured a peace that didn't last

It's easy to be bold and brave
From a thousand miles away
It's easy to pontificate
Live to fight another day
It's easy when the bullets are
An echo of a ricochet
But the quickest way to end a war
Is drop your guns and walk away

War within mankind

Anybody could be me, you could be standing here
It's so very easy for me to disappear
No-one seems to see me; it's as if I don't exist
I'm going nowhere and I know I won't be missed

Chorus:
I was lost, now I'm found
Looks like finally, somebody up there's got an eye on me
Underground, chained and bound, suddenly I'm free
I was lost, now I've found a reason to be me

Everyone is waiting, everyday is just the same
Everybody needs some happiness to counteract the pain
Maybe somewhere, someday, someone will notice me
I could find myself again and hope and dignity yeah

Chorus:
I was lost (what made you leave me?)
Now I'm found (what made you go?)
Looks like finally, somebody up there's got an eye on me
(You never need me)
Underground, chained and bound, suddenly I'm free
(You let me go)
I was lost, now I've found a reason to be me

Wake up in the morning, pump this in your stereo
In your car or blaze this in your disco
People look confused, “what is this yo?”
Hip-Hop, a little bit a Reggae in it

This one is for those who like the old school
They tried to hit on us in the school hall
Lets take it back to base and give it old due
Check this out, let me tell you how to do it

Chorus x2:
Let your body work, can you feel it jerk?
This one gonna make you move ‘til your body hurts
We gonna dance until the morning light

Twist, shake, rattle n roll and keep it jiggy jiggy
All my girls them low and keep it freaky freaky
Let it loose. let it go when I spin it
Mister DJ, can you turn it up a little?

Get up off the wall and stop your posing
Too brace??? to stand there looking frozen
Come bust a move, the club is closing
Check this out now, let me tell you how to do it

Chorus x2:
Let your body work, can you feel it jerk?
This one gonna make you move ‘til your body hurts
We gonna dance until the morning light

Take it down
This one is making me silly, it makes me jump around
Take it down
People get on your feet; I don’t want you sitting down
Take it down
Let’s start the winding, start the grinding, let’s just jump around
Take it down
Cos good music always comes back around

Ask your grandmother and grandfather about this
How they were twisting and shaking when they first heard this
40 years later now they’re back on the play list
We recycle it and now we’re back in business

Rap:
We put this back in the pot
And now we’re stirring it up
We add the sugar and a spice
And now we’re making it hot
And now we’re running your city
And yes we’re running your block
And we’re never gonna stop, so just…

Chorus x4:
Let your body work, can you feel it jerk?
This one gonna make you move ‘til your body hurts
We gonna dance until the morning light
