Just heard a cover by Bob Andy—of Bob and Marcia fame—of the UB40 song. Such great lyrics. Here they are.
Love is all is alright
But you left it a little too late.
Love is all is alright
But you've got to find a little more hate.
Take the man in the white cloak,
A pointed mask to hide his face,
Murders in the name of religion
If you're not the right colour or race.
Take the man in the black cloak,
He's holding justice in his hands;
Lets the man in the white cloak go,
Calls it the law of the land.
Love is all is alright
But you left it just a little too late.
Love is all is alright
But you've got to find a little more hate.
Take the man in the brown shirt,
A burning hatred in his eyes,
Fired by ignorant reaction,
Fanned by political lies.
Take the man in the blue cap,
His back's against the wall;
Links arms with the man in the brown shirt
He's trying to break his own fall.
Love is all is alright
But you left it just a little too late.
Love is all is alright
But you've got to find a little more hate.
