Write Off The Debt Lyrics - Ub40

Write off the debt 

Me say write off the debt 

Me say write off the debt 

And stop the third world a fret 

I say the I'm put on too much interest 

Certain man pon the streets can't even buy a little vest 

I said the east and the west them just a build up dem chest 

Certain man in the third world can't even digest, a little food 

But no bother take them man deh as no fool 

'cause' you know say dem teach and go a good school 

Me say lord a god a mercy dem learn up all the rules 

So no bother patronize dem 'cause all dem need is the tools 

Me say over the millennium me say what a bomb 

Me say a whole heap of right 

Me say a whole heap of wrong 

I say it's time to come together and sing we own song 

And make the shooting and all the killing and the fighting 

Have fe done 

I say the im wipe off the lump sum 

You know say me bredren that would a handsome 

So come on fe me posse lets rehearse up this song 

And hope say dem man yah don't take too long 

Me say write off the debt 

Me say write off the debt 

And stop the third world a fret 

Picture a world with no more hurt and pain 

Picture a world where we are all the same 

Maybe not in mind but in spirit 

Must do the right thing to ease the pain 

Yes me breden that would a wicked!
