I went to a pawnshop to sell what I've used
|
To buy something else fairly new
|
But once I walked inside of that store
|
I felt as if I had been there before
|
I said hey sir, excuse me
|
Can you sell me something I've already seen?
|
And he said only a blind man counts on others to see
|
But if you buy two, I'll give you one for free.
|
I told him no, you can't convince me
|
To buy more of something than I need
|
I don't worry about what I own
|
'Cause only selfish men die alone
|
Hey sir excuse me,
|
Can you sell me something I've already found?
|
And he said only a crippled man counts on others to get around
|
But if you buy two, I'll give you one for free
|
And he held out his hands to me
|
His open palms were pointing to the sea
|
And there were so many lines
|
His skin was like the bark of an old tree
|
Hey son excuse me
|
Do you know how I became this wise?
|
Because I never close my eyes
|
So please, take my advice
|
Buy two and I'll give you one for free
|
