Wow. Check This. Huh

We've lost our way
And don't know which way to turn
(Here we go again)
We put trust in great man
And still we get burnt
(Here we go again)

Why do we fall for the same old lines?
Why do we fall for it time after time?
We've lost our way inevitably

Kept in the dark
So dark that we can't see
Kept in the dark
I'm talking you and me

You've lost your pride
And don't know when it began
(Here we go again)
You sit in judgement
Over your fellow man
(Here we go again)

Why do you fall for the same old lines?
Why do you fall for it time after time?
You've lost your pride inevitably

Too scared to talk
Too scared to look and see
Too scared to walk
Too scared to run to me

Too scared to talk
Too scared to look and see
Too scared to walk
Too scared to run to me

We've gone too far
And don't know where it will end
(Here we go again)
We've eaten up nature
And we're gonna get burned
(Here we go again)

Why do we choose to leave no warning signs?
Why do we do it time after time?
We've gone to too far inevitably

Nowhere to run
As far as I can see
Nowhere to run
No end for you and me

Too scared to talk
Too scared to look and see
Too scared to walk
To scared to run to me

Too scared to
Too scared to
Too scared to talk

Too scared to
Too scared to
Too scared to talk

UB40 are an English reggae and pop band, formed in December 1978 in Birmingham. The band has had more than 50 singles in the UK Singles Chart. They have been nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album four times, and in 1984 were nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Group. UB40 have sold over 70 million records. The ethnic make-up of the band’s original line-up was diverse, with musicians of English, Irish, Jamaican, Scottish and Yemeni parentage.

Their hit singles include their debut “Food for Thought”, “Red Red Wine” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. Both of these also topped the UK Singles Chart, as did the band’s version of “I Got You Babe”. Their two most successful albums, Labour of Love (1983) and Promises and Lies (1993), reached number one on the UK Albums Chart.

On January 24, 2008, it was announced that Ali Campbell would be leaving the group after 30 years. It was reported by some Birmingham newspapers on 13 March 2008, that Maxi Priest would be the new lead singer of UB40 and had recorded a cover of Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff” with the band.
