BOY GEORGE - Sold lyrics

rate me

Last night my mother said to me

I'm sick of making history

There's got to be a better 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

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

Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold

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 a better 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 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 - There's got to be a better way than this
