[UB40 - Food for Thought lyrics]
Waiting for the manna coming from the west
Barren is her bosom, empty as her eyes
Death a certain harvest scattered
From the skies
Skin and bones is creeping
Doesn't know he's dead
Ancient eyes are peeping
From his infant head
Politicians argue sharpening their knives
Drawing up their bargains, trading baby lives
Ivory Madonna, dying in the dust
Waiting for the manna coming from the west
Hear the bells are ringing
Christmas on it's way
Hear the angels singing
What is that they say?
Eat and drink rejoicing, joy is hear to stay
Jesus son of Mary is born again today
Ivory Madonna, dying in the dust
Waiting for the manna coming from the west
Ivory Madonna, dying in the dust
Waiting for the manna coming from the west
