This Country’s for Sale

Stuck in a place where the hope has been drained from us all

The people in power deceive us and laugh as we fall

I may be proud but the shame that they brought on me now

Our families in debt and we're all asking why

We give up our freedom to pay for your crimes

You've wrecked all our lives

We're the ones you've destroyed

Oh, this country's for sale

You've wrecked all our lives

Now you act all surprised

Oh, this country's for sale

You run away when it suits you and shift all the blame

Buy your Mustang with you and nothing can save our good name

Trap decent people in homes that they struggle to pay

Well we can't leave this place I know try as they may

Forced to remain in this land of decay

You've wrecked all our lives

We're the ones you've destroyed

Oh, this country's for sale

You've wrecked all our lives

Now you act all surprised

Oh, this country's for sale

A boy lies awake now he's wondering why

Everyone's fighting, the mother she cries

They gave up his future for greed and for lies

They put up our country for sale

What's wrong with this land always choosing the goons for a job

They'd sell their own mothers if that meant they'd make a few bob

We need some changes to save all the kids of today

Give them a chance of a life with no debt

Don't look to the past cause it's one to forget

You've wrecked all our lives

We're the ones you've destroyed

Oh, this country's for sale

You've wrecked all our lives

Now you act all surprised

Oh, this country's for sale

Oh, this country's for sale

You've put the country for sale

You've put the country for sale
