Testo Riddle Me - UB40
Testo della canzone Riddle Me (UB40), tratta dall'album Geffery Morgan
Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer me this
Who owns the chains that bind your wrist?
Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer again
Riddle me who built the machine that washed your brain?
Your 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 bought the class
And a different set of rules
Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer me this
Who owns the chains that bind your wrist?
Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer again
Riddle me who built the machine that washed your brain?
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
You never thought to question
They would never answer why
When they buy your sweat
You are in their debt
And they own you till you die
Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer me this
Who owns the chains that bind your wrist?
Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer again
Riddle me who built the machine that washed your brain?
You took them blind and sinker
Everything they said
Worked day and night for most your life
To earn their daily bread
Now you're old and weary
And you lay you down to sleep
With body worn and spirit torn
What's left is yours to keep
Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer me this
Who owns the chains that bind your wrist?
Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer again
Riddle me who built the machine that washed your brain?
