Don't Sell It - The Cruel Sea

In the lonely streets of every town

In the home of Mr. Jones

The men all sell their souls to love

But their women sleep alone

The women sell their love

For cheap. for security

They take a lot of shit just to get their bit

But nothing comes for free

Oh, don’t sell your love

Oh, don’t sell your love too cheap

In the flea bit ridden crossroads

Of the fallin' livin' streets

Old men stare and women wear

Clothes that make them weep

At the burnin' and of a satellite town

Where windows smash or shine

Lovers bleed take what they need

From the deaf dumb and the blind

Oh, don’t sell your love

Oh, don’t sell your love too cheap

Sometimes I get my feet stuck so hard in the ground

It’s like diggin' a hole, just standin' around

Every single fuckin' day that goes by, I miss too of

My friends outside are gettin' fewer and fewer

And I feel like I’m sittin' on a human sewer

Mother fucken nature like I never ever knew her

Make the same mistakes over and over again

And I stop to explode all over my friends

I’m so scared now, I don’t know who I am

I guess I’m a man, yeah, I’m only human

I’ve got no fucken' strength of body and mind

'Cause the days go on just like I’m doin' time

There’s a soul suckin' strap at the top of my spine

I gotta get straight walk a straight line

Everywhere you look today there are people livin' lies

If they can’t get the truth they want

They’re quick to compromise

Suck a little bit here, suck a little bit there

Till they think they’re satisfied

But their hunger for the real thing

Keeps them crawlin' back inside

Oh, don’t sell your love

Oh, don’t sell your love too cheap
