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
