מילים לשיר Riddle Me – UB40

Chorus Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer me this
Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer again
Who owns the chains that bind your wrists
That washed your brain Riddle me who built the machine
Like parents did before them
You must learn to play the game
Your parents did the same
They scrimped and saved and suffered
They said do your best, you must pass the test
To send you off to school
But if they'd had the cash
They could've brought the class
And a different set of rules
Chorus Riddle me who . Etc They taught a simple system
Life's an auction you're the lot
Why they had and you had not
If you'd ever thought to question
They said know your place, you can't win the race
They would never answer you why
And they own you till you die
When they buy your sweat, you are in their debt
Chorus Riddle me who . Etc You took hook line and sinker
Worked day and night, for most your life
Everything they fed
Now your old and weary
To earn their daily bread
What's left is yours to keepAnd you lay you down to sleep
With body worn and spirit torn.
