Biografía:
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 distintas etnias y procedentes de la clase obrera. 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 beneficios por desempleo, Unenployment Benefit form 40 debido a que los 8 miembros del grupo se encontraban en paro.

[Verse 1]
Bb F Bb
Once the the shops were filled with things that i could buy,
F
But the prices of them all have gone sky high,
Bb Eb
Don`t suppose they`re gonna drop gotta get used to the charity shop,
Bb F Bb
Tell me how can poor men stand such times and live?.
[Verse 2]
Bb F Bb
Seems like only yesterday food was so cheap,
F
Now the cost of eating goes up every week,
Bb Eb
So you search for the best deals have to miss out on some meals,
Bb F Bb
Tell me how can poor men stand such times and live?.
[Steel Guitar Instrumental]
Bb F Bb Bb
[Verse 3]
N.C
Make that first foot on the ladder they all say,
N.C
But on what i`m earning they no there`s no way,
Bb Eb
Ain`t no bankers gonna lend they all got bonus`s to spend,
Bb F Bb
Tell me how can poor men stand such times and live?.
[Verse 4]
Bb F Bb
Council housing`s something i will never get,
F
Put my name down on the list i`m waiting yet,
Bb Eb
So i`m renting privately landlords profiting from me,
N.C
Tell me how can poor men stand such times and live?.

Getting `round is getting harder everyday,

Used to drive a car but lately there`s no way,

Trains are only for the rich and the bus fares are a bitch,
Bb F Bb
Tell me how can poor men stand such times and live?.
[Steel Guitar Instrumental]

[Verse 6]
N.C
And the doctors don`t come out no more at night,
N.C
They won`t treat you if they think you don`t live right,
Bb Eb
While they privatize the best soon they`ll be no NHS,
Bb F Bb
Tell me how can poor men stand such times and live?.
[Verse 7]
Bb F Bb
Keeping warm is something poor folk`s can not do,
F
Because the oil men need a private yacht or two,
Bb Eb
Power companies make gold as the pensioners grow cold,
Bb F Bb
Tell me how can poor men stand such times and live?,
Bb F Bb
Tell me how can poor men stand such times and live?,
N.C
Just tell me how can poor men stand such times and live?.
