TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT

Clive Newton 1999

Saturday morning and I just got paid - I got a credit-card guarantee

To buy a nice new jacket and a sexy shirt - gotta get one of them for me

And then my mind flies up above the earth - the stuff was made of nothing finer

But I land in a shack and get a heart attack - you see they’re making’ up the stuff in China.

We gonna - kick a ball around a field - lots of people having lots of fun

But they’re putting them together with the needle and the leather in a sweatshop in the sun.

Two hundred sheets - three p a copy, I can print out all I need

But they're chopping down a tree for my publicity - mother nature starts to bleed

I’m alright Jack - I’m a here living - - my life at the top

And as they - work their fingers to the bone - I’m gonna - shop until I drop

Saturday morning in the shopping mall with credit card guarantees

To get all you want - and want and want and want but they are not your necessities.

What you see - is not what they get

Take it or leave - you can even forget

Write your cheque - but never check you choice

'cause somebody’s crying

But you’re never ever gonna stop and think and listen to the voice.
