Don't Sell It

In the lonely streets of every town
In the home of Mr Jones
The men all sell their souls to love
But their women sleep alone
The women sell their love for cheap for security
They take allot of shit just to get their bit
But nothing comes for free
Oh Don't sell your love
Oh Don't sell your love too cheap
In the flea bit ridden crossroads
Of the fallin' livin' streets
Old men stare and women wear Clothes that make them weep
At the burnin' and of a satellite town
Where windows smash or shine
Lovers bleed take what they need
From the deaf dumb and the blind
Oh Don't sell your love
Oh Don't sell your love too cheap
Sometimes I get my feet stuck so hard in the ground
It's like diggin' a hole just standin' around
Every single fuckin' day that goes by I miss to of
My friends outside are gettin' fewer and fewer
And I feel like I'm sittin on a human sewer
Mother fucken nature like I never ever knew her
Make the same mistakes over and over again
And I stop to explode all over my freinds
I'm so scared know I don't know who I am
I guess I'm a man yeah I'm only human
I've got no fucken strength of body and mind
Cause they days go on just like I'm doin' time
There's a soul suckin strap at the top of my spine
I gotta get straight walk a straight line
Everywhere you look today there are people livin' lies
If they can't get the truth they want they're quick to compromise
Suck a little bit here suck a little bit there
Till they think they're satisfied
But their hunger for the real thing
Keeps them crawlin' back inside
Oh Don't sell your love
Oh Don't sell your love too cheap
