Hey, little white boy, what you got to lose ?
Switch on to TV, trans-am-vestite blues
Hey, little black boy, could you read the news ?
Some other red man turned another screw
Time's on your side so you run, take a dive
Turn, look around and see the show, it's on, you know
Instant relay, no matter what your paper says
Instant relay, you gotta pay your yesterdays
Instant relay, yeah
Hey, Mr. Money, who'd you buy today ?
Some other poor boy watch him fade away
Hey, Ayatollah, what you gotta say ?
You got the power, do you sleep, OK ?
Run, don't be slow, take a ride don't you know
It's all in the night of instant relay
Instant relay, no matter what your paper says
Instant relay, you gotta pay your yesterdays
Instant relay, yeah
Instant relay, no matter what your paper says
Instant relay, you gotta pay your yesterdays
Instant relay
Instant relay
Instant relay
