The Strums - The Dodos

The image on the board

Selling things we can’t afford

But we’re still buying up in a frenzy

Cause our hearts just yearn for more

Is this sin, all we want?

Is offerings we got?

But soon you’ll be overrating eyes

Oh people they can’t be good

When what comes next on the market should

But we go on because its understood

But you can only hope, when they say that they want you

Yeah, they’ll say that they want you, when they don’t

It’s like a chandelier

It’s like a fountain head

The strings are all there

A chain link fence to convince you

That you’re never aware

For things that which you spare

Are at cause they don’t care about you

Kill over what you’ve done

You’re fooled by everyone

But soon you’ll go get your daddy’s gun

And go out to recollect

From all the guards that you put in debt

It’s time you learn that you cannot change

What you forget

But you will always think when they say that they want you

When they say that they want you, that they don’t

You wait but somedays never come

Your prophesying here is done

You’re only left with what you beg

In toward you can, begone your way

The others wait till they’re okay

They’re only left with what they beg, beg, beg

So children kill your teachers

Kill your parents, then kill your preachers

Because you know, that they’ll only will doubt you

When they start to lose their features

Its okay that they’re gone

Torching you is all they want

And lesson learned, now lesson taught

You just know what they forgot

Cause they didn’t get to find out what you sought
