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 Mister 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
