Sold - Dan Mangan

I thought the suits had come for me

Found alternatives to honesty

Body and soul were bought and sold

Patented and out of reach

So I reach, but it hurts, it kills

It screams, and it fills

My heart with chills

And I take my pills

But I’m still

Tired of sleeping with the light on

But if it keeps the hair out of my eyes

Pack it up and send it home

For just one stab at the good life

That’s enough and I’m sold

So I gave up all my wretched thoughts

And left them out for the less fortunate

And at the gates I’ll skip the queue

Life’s not living 'less you’re sure to make it through

But now it hurts, it kills

It screams, and it fills

My heart with chills

And I take my pills

But I’m still tired

Of sleeping with the light on

But if it keeps the hair out of my eyes

Pack it up and send it home

For just one stab at the good life

That’s enough and I’m sold

Lord, I’m sold

Go on pack me up, I’m sold

Go on pack me up, I’m sold

Go on pack me up, I’m sold

Go on pack me up, I’m sold

Go on pack me up, I’m sold

Go on pack me up, I’m sold

Pack me up, I’m sold

If it keeps the hair out of my eyes

Pack it up and send it home

For just one stab at the good life

That’s enough and I’m sold
