Instant Relay

(album: Elevator - 1979)

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
