I've been working for my bread & wine
Head down don't fall behind
A lifetime bought & sold
Make your money off the work I do
Call me when rent's past due
A lifetime bought & sold
Poison water where my children drink
Then horde the medicine they need
A lifetime bought & sold
Grandma said work hard then watch & see
Live your American Dream
It's all been bought & sold
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Been dying to feel
When the reaper comes I'll be screaming with laughter
One hand at the wheel
Hug the corners whatever gets me there faster
I've been wretched I was wrong
Left you there with nothing on
At least we got the room with the view
Lights gone dim but I'll survive
You tried to cut me down to size
There ain't nobody lower than you
Sweet illusion swept away
Here I'm standing just the same
A betting man will make his fortune on me.
Oh...... does it never end?
I've been wretched I was wrong
Left you there with nothing on
At least we got the room with the view
Lights gone dim but I'll survive
You tried to cut me down to size
There ain't nobody lower than you
Sweet illusion swept away
Here I'm standing just the same
A betting woman indeed.
You better believe the forest for the trees
Step back, now do you hear the sound?
Beat to dust
Shaping lifetimes into dollar signs
Subverting who we are
At any cost
Keep believing angels will raise us from the grave
Paradise Lost
All but just one tree
Then we toppled that one too
Oh....
I've been working for my bread & wine
Head down don't fall behind
A lifetime bought & sold
Grandma said work hard then watch & see
Live your American Dream
It's all been bought and....
