Write Off The Debt - 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 IMF 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

'Cos 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 cos 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 IMF wipe off the lump sum

You know say me bredren that would a handsome

So come on fe me posse let’s 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!
