Sell Out
Well, the year it's 1991
It seems that freedom is dead and gone
The power of the rich is held by few
They keep the young paralyzed
Educated by your lies
Keep the old ones happy with the news
Tell the singer not to song a song
Tell the poet that she's wrong
In the courts you'll win the case with lies
'Cause you sold them down the river-o
Do I belong to some ancient race
I like to walk in ancient places
These are things that I can understand
Well, I don't believe in your modern way
Don't care about the things you say
Your policies have failed the test of time
'Cause you sold them down the river-o
Now, now in a land not far away
There's men in prison because they say
The color of your skin is not a question
Did you rally to their side?
No, you sat back and let them die
Don't know how you get to sleep at night
At night
Do I belong to some ancient race
I like to walk in ancient places
These are things that I can understand
Well, I don't believe in your modern way
Don't care about the things you say
Your policies have failed the test of time
Hey
Your money market goes round and round
The pound goes up, the dollar goes down
When the [Incomprehensible] you come down
You need the power for your new towns
You get scared when the night comes down
Won't you tell me where it is that we are bound?
Do I belong to some ancient race
I like to walk in ancient places
These are things that I can understand
Well, I don't believe in your modern way
Don't care about the things you say
Your policies have failed the test of time
'Cause you sold them down the river-o
It seems that freedom is dead and gone
The power of the rich is held by few
They keep the young paralyzed
Educated by your lies
Keep the old ones happy with the news
Tell the singer not to song a song
Tell the poet that she's wrong
In the courts you'll win the case with lies
'Cause you sold them down the river-o
Do I belong to some ancient race
I like to walk in ancient places
These are things that I can understand
Well, I don't believe in your modern way
Don't care about the things you say
Your policies have failed the test of time
'Cause you sold them down the river-o
Now, now in a land not far away
There's men in prison because they say
The color of your skin is not a question
Did you rally to their side?
No, you sat back and let them die
Don't know how you get to sleep at night
At night
Do I belong to some ancient race
I like to walk in ancient places
These are things that I can understand
Well, I don't believe in your modern way
Don't care about the things you say
Your policies have failed the test of time
Hey
Your money market goes round and round
The pound goes up, the dollar goes down
When the [Incomprehensible] you come down
You need the power for your new towns
You get scared when the night comes down
Won't you tell me where it is that we are bound?
Do I belong to some ancient race
I like to walk in ancient places
These are things that I can understand
Well, I don't believe in your modern way
Don't care about the things you say
Your policies have failed the test of time
'Cause you sold them down the river-o
