The Strums Lyrics

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 he 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 it's 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

 

Don't care of 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

 

But 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 only will doubt you

 

When they start to lose their features

 

It's okay that there gone

 

Torturing 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
