Forget The Cost Lyrics - Ub40

Multi-million dollar 

Exploration into space 

While in the name of progress 

This planet's laid to waste 

Nation takes on nation 

And is stepping up the pace 

And someone's got their finger 

On the button. 

[Chorus] 

Forget the cost 

We've got to choose 

We're running in a race 

That we can only lose. 

Rich is rich and poor is poor 

And never the twain shall meet 

East is east and west is west 

And only one shall eat 

The microchip has come of age 

And man is obsolete 

And someone's got their finger 

On the button. 

[Chorus]
