Kids in Korea

I walk outside to hear the sounds of
Promises drowned out by gibberish and riddles
If talk is cheap and speech is free then
Why are we still paying for the lies that we're selling
I guess we'll never know what for
The score is chalking up to be erasable history
One more, one more, take two, what for
Here we go again, just another recession
My pocket's deep and filled with receipts
And when my heart gets heavy I return it every week
It's tailor-made for a boy like me
Who knows a little better but he does it anyway
All of my style goes off shore, outsourced
Cause freedom's great, but not for economy
From fables and lore to trenches and gore
It's not the clothes we soil, but cables we coil

Give it up now, give it up now
Timing is everything
Give it up now, give it up now
The surface is hemorrhaging
Give it up now, give it up now
We're taking another swing
Step forward, forward it twos
Step forward, over the tombs
You make choices, you choose and you lose

I walk outside to see the clouds
They're blue on the edges and red in the middle
Where does that leave a boy like me
Who's green on the top but yellow on the belly
I guess I gotta go off shore, outsource
So kids in Korea can package me to sell to me
From shore to shore, I feel a downpour
Of blood and oil to sully this soil

Give it up now, give it up now
Timing is everything
Give it up now, give it up now
The surface is hemorrhaging
Give it up now, give it up now
We're taking another swing
Step forward, forward it twos
Step forward, over the tombs
You make choices, you choose and you lose
