C`est La Vie Lyrics - Promises & Lies - Ub40

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 ment 

Real horror, daily, courtesy of your T-V 

C'est La Vie 

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 

C'est la vie 

All alone she mourned her lover 

Crossed the sea to find a brother 

Maybe he could help her get her baby back for free
