UB40

UB40

UB40 es un grupo inglés de música pop reggae y dub formado en Birmingham, Inglaterra en 1978. Sus ocho componentes son amigos desde la infancia, de varias razas y procedentes de la clase obrera: Ali Campbell, James Brown, Robin Campbell, Earl Falconer, Norman Hassan, Brian Travers, Michael Virtue y Astro. Compraron sus primeros instrumentos con el dinero que Ali Campbell recibió como compensación de una pelea en un bar, aunque algunos de ellos todavía no sabían tocarlos. Extrajeron su nombre del formulario de petición de pago del seguro de desempleo, Unemployment Benefit Form 40, debido a que los 8 miembros del grupo se encontraban en paro.

Letra de Don't Do The Crime
Don't do the crime,
If you can't do the time
It's said that it just don't pay.
But what good's working hard
When all they give you is your cards
And you know there's not much you can say.

So you take what they give
You've no money to live
And your family don't understand.
After all these years
They will end up in tears
With a mountain of bills in their hands.

(chorus)


Now your lesson is learned
There's nowhere to turn
And it's no use pleading for help.
When you're left on the heap
When you're left on the heap
There is nothing to keep you
From going and helping yourself
From going and helping yourself.

The dilemma you've found
Is you're morally bound
Now your morally bound
Now your moral code needs a review
So what do you care
You know life isn't fair
And for years they've been stealing from you.
