Lyrics

Take, take, take, takin' what you don't need You'll get, get, gettin' what you don't need Stand back, take a look and take heed All the children in god's kingdom bleed See the networks of concrete and steel They've no mystery but what they reveal Tells a story of a future that's void Of the beauty and the majesty that life on Earth is meant to be Talk, talk, talk, talk about the government And not a word about political favour Everything touched is my political choice The life you take is your political voice The sacred cows come crashing to their knees Golden harvest reaped without intelligence There's no chance between the heavens and the seas In a blood bath don't laugh Grab your piece of golden calf Waste not want not pick it up Waste not want not pick it up Waste not want not pick it up Waste not want not Do unto others as you wish be done to you There's a million lies 'round everything true You slaughter when you feast You disrespect the beast Make our beds and lie there, take your share Waste not want not pick it up Waste not want not pick it up Waste not want not pick it up Pick it up and eat it Waste not want not
