WRITE OFF THE DEBT [Chorus]
ME SAY WRITE OFF THE DEBT
ME SAY WRITE OFF THE DEBT
AND STOP THE THIRD WORLD A FRET

I SAY THE IMF PUT ON TOO MUCH INTEREST
CERTAIN MAN PON THE STREETS CAN'T EVEN BUY A LITTLE VEST
I SAID THE EAST AND THE WEST THEM JUST A BUILD UP DEM CHEST
CERTAIN MAN IN THE THIRD WORLD CAN'T EVEN DIGEST, A LITTLE FOOD
BUT NO BOTHER TAKE THEM MAN DEH AS NO FOOL
COS' YOU KNOW SAY DEM TEACH AND GO A GOOD SCHOOL
ME SAY LORD A GOD A MERCY DEM LEARN UP ALL THE RULES
SO NO BOTHER PATRONISE DEM COS ALL DEM NEED IS THE TOOLS
ME SAY OVER THE MILLENNIUM ME SAY WHAT A BOMB
ME SAY A WHOLE HEAP OF RIGHT
ME SAY A WHOLE HEAP OF WRONG
I SAY IT'S TIME TO COME TOGETHER AND SING WE OWN SONG
AND MAKE THE SHOOTING AND ALL THE KILLING AND THE FIGHTING
HAVE FE DONE
I SAY THE IMF WIPE OFF THE LUMP SUM
YOU KNOW SAY ME BREDREN THAT WOULD A HANDSOME
SO COME ON FE ME POSSE LETS REHEARSE UP THIS SONG
AND HOPE SAY DEM MAN YAH DON'T TAKE TOO LONG


ME SAY WRITE OFF THE DEBT [Chorus]
ME SAY WRITE OFF THE DEBT
AND STOP THE THIRD WORLD A FRET


PICTURE A WORLD WITH NO MORE HURT AND PAIN
PICUTURE A WORLD WHERE WE ARE ALL THE SAME
MAYBE NOT IN MIND BUT IN SPIRIT
MUST DO THE RIGHT THING TO EASE THE PAIN

YES ME BREDEN THAT WOULD A WICKED!
