Lyrics for Riddle Me by UB40:
| | | Artist: | UB40 |
| | Album: | Geffery Morgan... Loves White Girls | | Track: | Riddle Me | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 160 | | | | Lyrics: | Chorus
Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer me this
Who owns the chains that bind
your wrists
Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer again
Riddle me who built the
machine
That washed your brain
Like parents did before them
Your parents did
the same
They said do your best, you must pass the test
You must learn to play the
game
They scrimped and saved and suffered
To send you off to school
But if they'd had
the cash
They could've brought the class
And a different set of rules
Chorus
Riddle me who ..... Etc
They taught a simple system
Why they had and
you had not
They said know your place, you can't win the race
Life's an auction you're the
lot
If you'd ever thought to question
They would never answer you why
When they buy
your sweat, you are in their debt
And they own you till you die
Chorus
Riddle me who .... Etc
You took hook line and sinker
Everything they
fed
Worked day and night, for most your life
To earn their daily bread
Now your old
and weary
And you lay you down to sleep
With body worn and spirit torn
What's left is
yours to keep | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
