Being Sold 03:03
You stole your blues from Muddy Waters.

There's faces of millions of people Stained from the work of a day Who don't have enough to buy food with what they call pay There's factories eating the cropland And Villages turned into slaves And we're told that atrocities don't really happen these days And it's so cold There's a building uptown and it shimmers As it's standing up into the sky There's a man sleeping below in the shade of a sign There's fences surrounding the ghetto And you can't get out once you're inside I'd love to stop by for a chat I've got things on my mind And it's so cold So go home yankee boy Let a flock of geese carry you away And go home yankee girl Let your sorrow wash into the sea

And now this must begin Our tired ways have done us in And we're falling out of place Still afraid this could be our day When a second wind is all we need To finish up this undertaking But it was based on misinformation Before you take on the world Before, after, against, and among my friends, I've grown Because what if means nothing And regrets are cheap Good thing I stole this story So you'd understand me When a second chance wasn't worth it I'll make the call, but that's not going to cut it. I'm broken, but I'm okay We're okay Let them know we're okay Straight out of Wisconsin We're the punk rock kids Love Dropkicks, but we hate mosh pits We're the first, the best, the latest, greatest and last When you're rolling through the hood it's Watch Me Shatter that you blast Cause our heads are filled with indie And our hearts are filled with soul Our ears are filled with copper And our fingers filled with gold We step up to the mic like we're ready for a fight And we're such bad boys we've got stocking full of coal Get get get down, Watch Me Shatter is joking your town
