Last night mym other 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
Another factory about to be shut down
Sold - Did you hear it? I'm sold!
Sold - Did you hear it? I'm sold!
Sold - Did you hear it? I'm sold!
Sold - Did you hear it? I'm sold!
You're gonna like this one, 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 don't talk for you and me, I saw him on the BBC
His eyes looked like a factory about to be shut down
His eyes looked like a factory with the lights out about to be shut down
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 that's about to be shut down
Sold - Did you hear it? I'm sold! ....
There's got to be a better way to be than this?
