Artist/Band: UB 40
Lyrics for Song: It's A Long Long Way
Lyrics for Album: Promises And Lies [1993]



It's a long long way from here



Don't you worry yourself my dear



It's a long long way from here



Drought and famine in TV land



Read the sunday papers credit card ina your hand



Sing your song of freedom just to ease your troubled mind



And save your guilty pennies for the ones you leave behind



The burden that you carry from the cradle to the grave



Is like a badge of honour that you wear upon your sleeve



You make your contribution and you shed a little tear



And stage your celebration just to show how much you care



You obscure your stolen power with hypocrisy and lies



Your talk of understanding is a wafer thin disguise



You glorify my image but deny me flesh and blood



You radiate with goodness when you here me beg for food



Those rivers of blood will flow again



Someone changed the lyrics but the song remains the same



You can build a wall of protocol to keep the wolves at bay



But history dictates that someone has to pay



It's a long long way from here



Don't you worry yourself my dear



It's a long long way from here
