Chorus:
  Fm                  A#
These are the golden days
Fm             A#
In this golden age that we're living
      Fm                  A#
I'll show you a thousand ways
Fm                    A#
I'll show you how we take what we're given

         A#                          G#                 Fm
You can say what you want, we don't need your permission
              A#                         G#              Fm
'Cause you're so busy talking, that you don't even listen
        A#                              G#           Fm
You can do want you want, you know that we don't mind
 A#                   G#                D#/G C
You've got the years, we've got the time

Chorus

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 - x3

Don't take what you're given
Don't take what you're given
We won't take what we're given
