Do What You're Told

sister your time has come

got to lay it down

got to get things done

but you're looking so hard

and you just can't see

trying so hard dragging on me

I'll tell you something baby

I'll tell you what I know

it's oh so cold - do what you're told

it's hard when they're telling you no

I said it's oh so cold - do what you're told

with all the lies that they hold

inside their hands

mother, got to lay it down

to be number one

on this side of town

but, you're looking so hard

you just can't see

trying so hard dragging on me

I'll tell you something baby

I'll tell what I know

it's oh so cold - do what you're told

with all the lies that they hold

inside their hands

stop those lies

just don't see

stop those lies

get away from me

it's oh so cold - do what you're told

it's hard when they're telling you no

I said it's oh so cold - do what you're told

with all the lies that they hold

inside their hands
