The Dodos - The Strums lyrics

The image on the board Selling things we can't afford But we're still buying up in a frenzy Cause our hearts just yearn for more Is this sin, all he want? Is offerings we got? But soon you'll be overrating eyes Oh people they can't be good When what comes next on the market should But we go on because its understood But you can only hope, when they say that they want you Yeah, they'll say that they want you, when they don't It's like a chandelier It's like a fountain head The strings are all there A chain link fence to convince you That you're never aware For things that which you spare Are at cause they don't care about you Don't care of what you've done You're fooled by everyone But soon you'll go get your daddy's gun And go out to recollect From all the guards that you put in debt It's time you learn that you cannot change (can't hide shame/change) But you forget But you will always think when they say that they want you, When they say that they want you, that they don't You wait but somedays never come Your prophesying here is done You're only left with what you beg In toward you can, begone your way The others wait till they're okay They're only left with what they beg, beg, beg So children k** your teachers k** your parents, then k** your preachers Because you know, that they'll only will doubt you When they start to lose their features Its okay that there gone Torturing you is all they want And lesson learned, now lesson taught You just know what they forgot Cause they didn't get to find out what you sought
