Ub 40 - C'est La Vie (Remix) (feat. Toots Hibbert) lyrics

rate me

A woman came and said to me

She'd seen a lady sell her baby

For ten or twenty dollars maybe

And everybody thinks she's crazy

They're too blind to see

She never failed to call attention

To the things we never mention

Real horror, daily, courtesy of your TV

C'est La Vie

[Chorus:]

A woman came and said to me

Now listen very carefully

There's brother killing brother

People living on their knees

Biting sugar coated bullets

For the pain of this disease

C'est La Vie

A woman came and said to me

She had a husband on an island

Found his body on a wasteland

Soldiers came and took him

Just to torture her you see

All alone she mourned her lover

Crossed the sea to find a brother

Maybe he could help her get her baby back for free

C'est La Vie

[Chorus]
