UB40 - Don't Let It Pass You By

There's no-one coming with that freedom train
There's nowhere you can go where you feel no pain
Take the blinkers off you eye's
The power is in your hand
Stop waiting for your ticket to the promised land

Don't let it pass you by
Don't let it pass you by

Don't let it pass you by

There ain't no heaven and there ain't no hell
Except the one we're in, and you know to well
There's no-one waiting on
Waiting on a higher high
Don't let the only world you're ever gonna live in pass you by

Don't let it pass you by
Don't let it pass you by

Don't let it pass you by

(..)

There ain't no heaven and there ain't no hell
Except the one we're in, and you know to well
There's no-one waiting on
Waiting on a higher high
Don't let the only world you're ever gonna live in pass you by

Don't let it pass you by
Don't let it pass you by

Don't let it pass you by

Don't let it pass you by
Don't let it pass you by

Don't let it pass you by

(..)

Burn two spliff play ital riddem
Rub two dub burn ital collie
Because the rhythm a the marshall
And the rhythm a no partial go deh
Seh the rhythm a the marshall
And the rhythm a no partial

Rub two dub burn ital collie
Burn two spliff play ital riddem
Cah you jamming with you brethren
Jam it till a morning
Forget about the warning
Have to jam it till a mornin'

Burn two spliff play ital riddem
Burn two spliff play ital riddem
Seh you playing in a concrete style
You playing in a resident style
And then you jam it all the while

Don't let it pass you by
You gonna wake up and wonder why
Gone in the blues
Go check on the news
Go listen to political views

Rub two dub burn ital collie
Rub two dub burn ital collie

New Cross was no gate-crash bomb..
Rightful justice must be done!

Burn two spliff and rock to the riddem
Burn two spliff and rock to the riddem
We don't deal with Isim Scisim
We don't deal with Isim Scisim
Deal with folly-dolly
We don't deal with folly-dolly

Burn two spliff play ital riddem
Rub two dub burn ital collie
'Cause you jammin' with your brethren
Jam it till the morning
Playin' in a conrete style
Jam it all the while
Don't let it pass you by
You gonna wake up and wonder why

Burn two spliff play ital riddem
Burn two spliff play ital riddem
