Food For Thought Lyrics
Artist: UB40
Album: Live
Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
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, does`nt know he`s dead.
Ancient eyes are peeping, from his infant head.
Politician`s argue sharpening their knives.
Drawing up their Bargains, trading baby lives.
(Chorus)
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 here to stay.
Jesus son of mary is born again today.
(Chorus)
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.

This song is shit.
No it is not shit
THIS SONG IS NOT SHIT. IT IS ORGASMIC. IT IS *THE* SHIT.
Classic. I remember at the time there was no British reggae then this album came out and wow,there was nothing to compare it with, not even from JA.
who da shit says this song is shit. Let him try making a lyric like dis one
After sifting thru thousands & thousands of songs, This is the best - make no mistake about it
I love this song!!!
Great production on this track. Such a shame they split up.
You guys know that raggamuffin is saying that this song is awesome by saying 'its da shit' (its da shizz).
The most misunderstood lyrics, I have heard peeps singing remaddona idiots
Awesome song, powerful message, expertly executed!! Absolutely phenomenal!
love dis song!! jah jah rastafari from Aotearoa new zealand!!!
Ruff lyrics, from old friends, the original mix race reggae group, food for thought was 1 of their defining tracks together with guilty & Tyler
Still one of my favorite songs, it seems every UB40 concert that I attended they start off with this song, much love and respect!!
It's mighty and really moving if you simply listen to the music and, like me, are NOT native English speaking; if you go further and read the lyrics
you are really touched.
