《Bought And Sold》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:17] Keeps our country growing

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:45] Even Vietnam got jargoned

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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