LYRIC FOR SALE

By David Brauner

I hear an ancient lullaby
but out on the street
you know, it’s live or die

when you got everything
and it’s not enough
it just don’t add up
it don’t add up
to much

We don’t get far, no progress
we all shake our heads
human nature I guess

you want more and more and more
enough ain’t enough
it just don’t add up…to much

Out on the killing floor
peace makes you nervous
like an unlocked door

you’re a thin man
with thin men by your side
you can’t lose… and survive

I hear an ancient chant
like an endless drone
you wander ‘round rootless
without your soul
you’re talking, talking
such and such
but you know down deep
It don’t add up to much

Out on the killing floor
peace makes you nervous
like an unlocked door

you’re a thin man
with thin men by your side
you can’t lose… and survive

it don’t add up
don’t add up to much
no, no
don’t add up to much
no……it don’t add up to much
