Contaminated Minds
UB40 Song Lyrics

Artist: UB40
Album: UB40 (1988)

Contaminated minds play judge and jury too, oh no
But contaminated minds are blind to the truth, oh yeah
Contaminated minds speak with the loudest voice, oh no
But not everybody has the luxury of choice, oh no.

Some people search for the holy grail
Run round in circles and chase their own tails
But you can't really blame them for clutching at straws
For needing some truth in our morals and laws.

Some people say that the revolution will descend
On this madness end this confusion
But we've all heard the privileged boast and preach
And the promised land we want is still out of reach.

Contaminated minds play judge and jury too, oh no
But contaminated minds are blind to the truth, oh yeah
Contaminated minds speak with the loudest voice, oh no
But not everybody has the luxury of choice, oh no.

I once knew a man who wore self-righteousness
Like a medal on his inflated chest
He hated all people for breaking his rules
Looked down with distaste on the cowards and fools.

He lived like a king in his castle of stone
And sneered at the man who worked hard for his home
He knew all the right words and who to defend
And would be with conviction the working man's friend.

Contaminated minds play judge and jury too, oh no
But contaminated minds are blind to the truth, oh yeah
Contaminated minds speak with the loudest voice, oh no
But not everybody has the luxury of choice, oh no.

Some people search for the holy grail
Run round in circles and chase their own tails
But you can't really blame them for clutching at straws
For needing some truth in our morals and laws.

Some people say that the revolution
Will descend on this madness, end this confusion
But we've all heard the privileged boast and preach
And the promised land we want is still out of reach.

I once knew a man who wore self-righteousness
Like a medal on his inflated chest
He hated all people for breaking his rules
Looked down with distaste on the cowards and fools.

He lived like a king in his castle of stone
And sneered at the man who worked hard for his home
He knew all the right words and who to defend
And would be with conviction the working man's friend.

Contaminated minds play judge and jury too, oh no
But contaminated minds are blind to the truth, oh yeah
Contaminated minds speak with the loudest voice, oh no
But not everybody has the luxury of choice, oh no.

Contaminated minds play judge and jury too, oh no
But contaminated minds are blind to the truth, oh yeah
Contaminated minds speak with the loudest voice, oh no
But not everybody has the luxury of choice, oh no.
