Waste Not Want Not Lyrics

    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


    Waste not want not pick it up
    Waste not want not pick it up
    Waste not want not pick it up
    Pick it up and eat it
    Waste not want not
