Intro/Chorus:

Verse i

 You can say what you want

 We don't need your permission

 'Cause you're so busy talkin'

 That you don't even listen

 You can do what you want

 You know that we don't mind

You got the years

 But we got the time

Chorus

These are the golden days

 In this golden age that we're livin'

 I'll show you a thousand ways

 I'll show you how we take what we're given (Take what we're given)

Interlude

Verse ii

 You can say what you want

 We don't need your permission

 With all the things that you hide

 How do we look suspicious

 Better look straight ahead

 Don't look over your shoulder

 Because you'll wake up to find

 That we've taken over

Chorus

These are the golden days

 In this golden age that we're livin'

 I'll show you a thousand ways

 I'll show you how we take what we're given (Take what we're given)

(We have the strength to survive)
