Well I heard you sold them America
|
You said it was built to last
|
Price is right, the time is now
|
You said it was going fast
|
|
Well I've got my beliefs
|
And I don't agree with a single word you say
|
A convincing smile, a twist of truth
|
You seem to get your way
|
|
And they believed you
|
With every word you said
|
It always sounded so convincing
|
As you signed their life away
|
So tell me what you're thinking
|
When you lie in your bed
|
The suffering you've caused
|
Surely it must go around your head
|
|
Well they call you Mr Cover
|
A predator at heart
|
A man who's reputation
|
Was dangerous from the start
|
You lie and you steal, cheat and you rob
|
Sold anything you could
|
You never had a second thought for people that you hurt
|
|
And they believed you
|
With every word you said
|
It always sounded so convincing
|
As you signed their life away
|
So tell me what you're thinking
|
When you lie in your bed
|
The suffering you've caused
|
Surely it must go around your head
|
|
It's been so many years
|
Well you've hurt so many people
|
As you've singed their lives away
|
Do you ever spare a moment's thought about the price they have to pay?
|
|
And they believed you
|
With every word you said
|
It always sounded so convincing
|
As you signed their life away
|
So tell me what you're thinking
|
When you lie in your bed
|
The suffering you've caused
|
Surely it must go around your head...
