Lead over Gold Whitey

[Verse 1]
Why do people live this way?
They shake all night, and slave all day
And get nothing
They have nothing

And when exactly, were we sold?
That a good boy does just what he's told?
Why did you choose lead over gold?
When did we choose lead over gold?

[Chorus]
They said: "Take (Take, take, take, take, take, take...)
Anything you want!" (Want, want, want, want, want, want...)
But you never got a lot (Lot, lot, lot, lot, lot, lot...)
You never got a single thing worth anything

Wake up (Wake, wake, wake, wake, wake, wake...)
It’s later than you know (wake, wake, wake, wake...)
And you have to go 'cause
Now it's time to punch the clock (Stop, stop, stop, stop...)
Now it’s time to punch the clock (Stop, stop, stop, stop...)

[Instrumental break: Guitar solo]

[Verse 2]
Every day and all brand new
It's an endless re-run, starring me and you
Watch us running in the wrong directions
Monkeys fascinated by our own reflections
