Riddle Me
Lyricist:Brown James Stephen, Campbell Alistair Jan, Campbell Robin Burns, Falconer Earl Acton, Hassan Norman Lamount, Travers Brian David, Virtue Michael Anthony, Wilson Terrance
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 and 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 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 wrists? Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer again Riddle me who built the machine and 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Life's an auction, you're the lot' If you'd ever thought to question, they would never answer why When they buy your sweat, you're 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 wrists? Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer again Riddle me who built the machine and washed your brain?
Took hook, line and sinker, everything they fed 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 wrists? Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer again Riddle me who built the machine and washed your brain?
