Waste Not Want Not Lyrics - Pretenders

TAKE, TAKE, TAKE, TAKIN' WHAT YOU DON'T NEED 

YOU'LL GET, GET, GETTIN' WHAT YOU DON'T NEED 

STAND BACK, TAKE A LOOK AND TAKE HEED 

ALL THE CHILDREN IN GOD'S KINGDOM BLEED 

SEE THE NETWORKS OF CONCRETE AND STEEL 

THEY'VE NO MYSTERY BUT WHAT THEY REVEAL 

TELLS A STORY OF A FUTURE THAT'S VOID 

OF THE BEAUTY AND THE MAJESTY THAT LIFE ON 

EARTH IS MEANT TO BE 

TALK, TALK, TALK, TALK ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT 

AND NOT A WORD ABOUT POLITICAL FAVOUR 

EVERYTHING TOUCHED IS MY POLITICAL CHOICE 

THE LIFE YOU TAKE IS YOUR POLITICAL VOICE 

THE SACRED COWS COME CRASHING TO THEIR KNEES 

GOLDEN HARVEST REAPED WITHOUT INTELLIGENCE 

THERE'S NO CHANCE BETWEEN THE HEAVENS AND THE SEAS 

IN A BLOOD BATH DON'T LAUGH 

GRAB YOUR PIECE OF GOLDEN CALF 

WASTE NOT WANT NOT PICK IT UP 

WASTE NOT WANT NOT PICK IT UP 

WASTE NOT WANT NOT PICK IT UP 

WASTE NOT WANT NOT 

DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WISH BE DONE TO YOU 

THERE'S A MILLION LIES 'ROUND EVERYTHING TRUE 

YOU SLAUGHTER WHEN YOU FEAST 

YOU DISRESPECT THE BEAST 

MAKE OUR BEDS AND LIE THERE, TAKE YOUR SHARE
