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
