Riddle Me |
Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer me this, |
Who owns the chians that bind your wrists? |
Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer me this, |
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 bought the class |
And a different set of rules |
Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer me this, |
Who owns the chians that bind your wrists? |
Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer me this, |
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 |
If you’d ever thought to question |
They would never answer why |
When they buy your sweat, your are in their debt |
And they own you till you die |
Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer me this, |
Who owns the chians that bind your wrists? |
Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer me this, |
Who built the machine that washed your brain? |
You 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 chians that bind your wrists? |
Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer me this, |
Who built the machine that washed your brain? |
