Bought and Sold Lyrics

In the family of the free but freedom
drags a bitter taste
amidst all its harmony
Look deep inside
comfort and security
breed sick infected minds
who feed on l*** and ecstasy
Battered bodies, shattered dreams
lining the streets, no end to the means
crippled corpses, vandalized souls
degraded, penetrated, beaten down
bought and sold

Pied piper foreigners
arrive each day
to blindly lead the innocent
toward their indecent ways
Branded children
who only see
the money and toys
supposedly given for free
Outlined bodies, littered dreams
lining the streets, no end to the means
riddled corpses, violated souls
when you're degraded, penetrated
beaten down, bought and sold
Oh my brother
how do you explain
being tied to yourself
wrapped in bundles of pain
No longer my brother
what pleasures are left to gain
look deep inside yourself
wrapped in bundles of pain
Into everyday, blindly we see
the power of the dollar
and the other currencies
Is the money they make
worth the price that they pay
it doesn't really matter
when there is one born everyday
Battered bodies, shattered dreams
lining the streets, no end to the means
crippled corpses, vandalized souls
when you're disregarded, penetrated
beaten down, bought and sold

Once again the night arrives
as I bleed tears of sorrow
this can't be all to expect from life
I'll pray for better things tomorrow
