Don't Let It Pass You By

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

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

(Don't let it pass you by)

Except the one we're in and you know to well

(Don't let it pass you by)

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

(Don't let it pass you by)

Except the one we're in and you know to well

(Don't let it pass you by)

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

Gone in the blues

Go check on the news

Go listen to political views

Deal with folly-dolly

Dub the dub all the while

Ram it in a resident style

Jam it all the while
