I always knew that they'd get me somehow sooner or later,
|
But with a bullet in the head, a knife in the back,
|
Not a pocket calculator.
|
Sorry mister, you're all wiped up,
|
You're all washed up,
|
Sold you out.
|
|
Got no dreams, got no ambition,
|
Can't decide, 'cause there's no decision,
|
Got no claim to any position,
|
Can't compete with the competition.
|
You're always complaining,
|
It's so depressing,
|
But if you're old enough,
|
Start to confess it.
|
You say, you sold me out,
|
To get a better deal for yourself,
|
You sold me out,
|
And now we want some of your precious wealth,
|
Because you sold me out.
|
Sold me out,
|
Sold me out,
|
Sold me out.
|
|
You sold me out,
|
To get a better deal for yourself.
|
You sold me out,
|
And now it's every man for himself.
|
|
Work all your life, put the money in the bank,
|
Sign on the dotted line.
|
Try to draw it out, the joke's on you,
|
Put up the empty sign.
|
Sorry mister, we're all sold out.
|
|
Sold me out,
|
Sold me out,
|
Sold me out,
|
Sold me out.
|
You, I'm talkin' to you.
|
|
You sold me out,
|
To get a better deal for yourself.
|
You sold me out,
|
And now we want some of your precious wealth.
|
And sell you out,
|
Like you sold me out.
|
Are you in so deep, that you can't get out?
|
|
Got no dreams, got no ambition,
|
Can't decide, 'cause there's no decision,
|
Got no claim to any position,
|
Can't compete with the competition.
|
Sold me out,
|
Sold me out,
|
Sold me out,
|
Sold me out.
|
[Repeat]
