sold

last night my mother said to me

i'm sick of making history

there's got to be another way

but we've got all these bills to pay

and they ain't just gonna go away

like a factory

about to be shut down

sold - did you hear it - i'm sold

sold - did you hear it - i'm sold

you're gonna like this one - i do

see if mr botha was a man

he'd tip the hat

he'd pass the can

but he dont talk for you and me

i saw him on the bbc

his eyes looked like a factory

with the lights out

about to be shut down

sold - did you hear it - i'm sold

sold - did you hear it - i'm sold

last night my mother said to me

i'm sick of making history

there's got to be another way

for you to be

last night my mother said to me

when you grow up

what will you be

if not the white minority

at least protect me

i'm not a factory about to be shut down
