lyrics

The day is long the night is hard
Sitting alone in my car
Thinking about how things are
I see so clearly right before me
In that shiny new SUV
The instruments of our slavery

(Chorus)
We all have our price
We all have our vice
So we are all bought and sold
So easily we’re bought and sold

Some of us drink to forget
Though it hasn’t escaped us yet
Ignorance is easier you bet
But ignorance won’t come again
We can never forget the pain
Once we open our eyes they can’t shut again

(Repeat Chorus)
Is death the only way out
We can cry and scream and shout
Still seems there’s no way out
We all sell our lives away
to be working slaves every day
can’t afford to eat or bills to pay

(Repeat Chorus)
Headlights are shining in my eyes
Stagelights are shining in my eyes
My head is spinning from the lies
Go to work and I pay the bills
Will these songs ever pay the bills
Why do we do this? Where are the thrills?

(Repeat Chorus)
So what is your price
So what is your vice
So we are bought and sold
So easily we are bought and sold
For how much were you bought and sold?...
