Don't Let It Pass You By

UB40

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. 

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. 

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 
Because 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
