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)

These are the golden days

Outro

Don't take what you're given

Don't take what you're given

We won't take what we're given
