Write Off The Debt

WRITE OFF THE DEBT (Chorus)
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

(I Can't Help) Falling In Love With You

Wise men say - Only fools rush in,
But I can't help falling in love with you.
Repeat
Shall I stay - Would it be a sin,
If I can't help falling in love with you.
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand - Take my whole life too,
For I can't help falling in love with you

Present Arms

You got no job you got no pay
Join the military, sign today
They'll take you off to fight on foreign shores
You'll be your mother's pride and joy
Her armed and dangerous golden boy
A uniformed hero that shows no fear
The khaki ranks of flesh and steel
Learning how to smile and kill
They'll teach you to ignore the screams and tears

King

King, where are your people now ?
Chained and pacified.
Tried invain to show them how.
And for that you died.
You had a dream of a promised land.
People of all nations walking hand in hand
But they're not ready to accept
That dream situation, yet.
King, where are your people now ?
Chained and pacified.
Tried invain to show them how.
And for that you died.

The Piper Calls The Tune

He wields his flute with an expert hand
And then, all too soon
The dancing stops and the children stand
The piper calls the tune.
He holds their future in his palm
An old and powerful man
With missiles poised and bombs at hand
They wait for his command.
With songs of fear and bigotry
A cruel, hypnotic sound
He plays his last tune greedily
And strikes the children down.

Dream A Lie

Why do I have to dream of you when I dont want to dream a lie?
Why do I have to dream of you when I dont want to dream a lie?
There never was a better time
For trying to set the words to rhyme
Of when a golden love turns blue
And dreams of dreams that wont come true
Every night I call your name
Were still together just the same
A lonely room, an empty bed
It always seems that way

Guns In The Ghetto

Daddy don't go out tonight
Just stay home till morning light
Me and mamma don't feel right
Please hold us tight

Daddy why did you go to work
When you know just how much we love you so
Please come back tomorrow

Chorus

They're giving out guns in the ghetto
They're saying they will set you free
One day I'll have children of my own
But I'm afraid they won't have me

Mamma

Don`t Let Is 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's 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.
