Lyrics

Bankrupt On Selling

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well all the Apostles, they're sitting in swings

Saying: I'd sell off my Savior for a set of new rings

And some sandals with the style of straps that cling best to the era

So all of the businessers in their unlimited hell

Where they buy and they sell and they sell

All their trash to each other

But they're sick of it all

And they're bankrupt on selling

And all of the angels, they'd sell off your soul

For a set of new wings and anything gold

They remember the people they loved, their old friends

And I've seen through 'em all

Seen through 'em all

And seen through most everything

All the people you knew were the actors

All the people you knew were the actors

Well, I'll go to college and I'll learn some big words

And I'll talk real loud, goddamn right I'll be heard

You'll remember the guy that said all those big words

He must've learned in college

And it took a long time until I came clean with myself

I come clean out of love with my lover

I still love her, loved her more

When she used to be sober and I was kinder
