Another 80's tune I had completely forgotten about

Released in 1980 & from the album 'Signing Off'

I consider this track to be one of their best

The lyrics in the current world climate etc more relevant than it was all those years ago

Worthy of a re release imho

When I think of all the wonderful reggae music there was around at that time (Black Uhuru, Burning Spear, Steel Pulse, Misty in Roots, Chalice, Black Roots, The Ruts...), if I never heard this politically correct dirge again I wouldn't be too concerned.

thats a bit harsh, whilst im no fan of ub40 this is actually a good track with a message. from that perspective its better then anything thats charted in many years.
