[UB40 - Contaminated Minds lyrics]
Some people search for the holy grail
Run round in circles and
Chase their own tails
But you can't really blame them
For clutching at straws
For weeding some truth in our morals and laws
Some people say that revolution will descend
On this madness end this confusion
But we've all heard the
Privileged boast and preach
And the promised land we want
Is still out of reach
I once knew a man who wore self-righteousness
Like a medal on his inflated chest
He hated all people for breaking his rules
Looked down with distaste on
The cowards and fools
He lived like a king in his castle of stone
And sneered at the man who
Worked hard for his home
He knew all the right words and who to defend
And would be with conviction
The working mans friend
Contaminated minds play judge and jury too
But contaminated minds are blind to truth
Contaminated minds speak with loudest voice
But not everybody has the luxury of choice
Run round in circles and
Chase their own tails
But you can't really blame them
For clutching at straws
For weeding some truth in our morals and laws
Some people say that revolution will descend
On this madness end this confusion
But we've all heard the
Privileged boast and preach
And the promised land we want
Is still out of reach
I once knew a man who wore self-righteousness
Like a medal on his inflated chest
He hated all people for breaking his rules
Looked down with distaste on
The cowards and fools
He lived like a king in his castle of stone
And sneered at the man who
Worked hard for his home
He knew all the right words and who to defend
And would be with conviction
The working mans friend
Contaminated minds play judge and jury too
But contaminated minds are blind to truth
Contaminated minds speak with loudest voice
But not everybody has the luxury of choice
