Bought And Sold - Dar Williams[00:00:00]

Well we're heading for a past that you leave not defend[00:00:09]

Where the downtowns hold the sadness of you can't go back again[00:00:16]

It's there you'll find the rust and debtors[00:00:23]

Motel signs with missing letters[00:00:26]

Cause there's a monster on the outskirts[00:00:32]

Says it knows what your town needs[00:00:34]

Then it eats it up like nothing[00:00:38]

And it won't spit out the seeds[00:00:41]

And we can be the super shoppers[00:00:48]

We can say we're really smart[00:00:50]

We can say our town is doing fine without a beating heart[00:00:54]

We can even say the money saved is all our own[00:01:01]

It's bought and sold it's bought and sold[00:01:06]

And we're heading for a nasty business[00:01:14]

Keeps our country growing[00:01:17]

Where the weapons that we're selling are the only seeds we're sowing[00:01:21]

You get to blow the fruits of all your labors[00:01:28]

Sell F-16's to all the neighbors[00:01:31]

And we know that it's for money[00:01:36]

And that's how the west gets bargained[00:01:38]

You the know the last time this happened[00:01:42]

Even Vietnam got jargoned[00:01:45]

And you can say they're out to hunt you[00:01:52]

You can say they're out to fish you[00:01:54]

You can join a gang of restless boys[00:01:58]

Or start your own militia[00:02:01]

You can even say your violence is all your own[00:02:05]

It's bought and sold it's bought and sold[00:02:10]

Well I look up to the people who are less bought than I[00:03:01]

You can show them what you're selling[00:03:08]

And they'll only ask you why[00:03:10]

And their paychecks don't have lots of zeros[00:03:14]

They're my friends and they're my heroes[00:03:17]

And the TV sets are angry cause they just can't make em pay[00:03:24]

But I like the way these people read the signs and walk away[00:03:30]

And we can call ourselves the makers[00:03:41]

And the keepers of the times[00:03:44]

We can spend our sand dollars[00:03:48]

And sand nickels and sand dimes[00:03:50]

We can even say prosperity is all our own[00:03:54]

It's bought and sold it's bought and sold[00:03:59]

We can even say our loneliness is all our own[00:04:05]

It's bought and sold it's bought and sold[00:04:10]

It's bought and sold it's bought and sold[00:04:15]
