lyrics

Bought and Sold

the sun shines bright on the ocean blue
it’s dazzling in your eyes
I think somehow it’s blinded you
you see truth in their lies

here the world is new and bold
but I will love you
when you’ve gone and grown old

you’ve found some friends who see the real you
they love you for your mind
of course those offers will come through
that’s the latest line

the freeways here are paved with gold
and you will own them if you do as you’re told

hear the ocean rise
feel the ocean fall
will it carry you away from me?

the sun has drowned in the ocean blue
I’ve gone beyond the rise
and you’re left wondering what to do
there’s nothing in your eyes

here your life is bought and sold
but I will love you
when you’ve gone and grown old
here your life is bought and sold
but I will love you
when you’ve gone and grown old
