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
And you're 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
And 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
That you're 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
And 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

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

Stop those lies
Just don't see
Well, stop your lies
Get away from me
So stop!

Ooh, well, it's, oh, so cold, do what you're told
And 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 in those hands

I said, it's, oh, so cold, do what you're told
And 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, ow!

Stop your lies
Just stop your lies
Stop those lies
So stop!
