4 Sale Song Lyrics
4 Sale by Future Islands Ohh, beautiful America land of the free
Raped and wasted youth
If I had just one wish that I could give to you
I'd ask for you to serve me
As your finest dish, a fish du fillet
Take my bones and exploit my brain
What's not for sale you or me
In this so called society
Why do we bend on knees
To these corporate religions
Like zombies in a TV screen
Feels like life's jail with no key
When your alone got no money
But I'll never sell my soul
For your golden cage, of rape
Yeah, you call free
What do you got?
What do you need?
What's for sale?
We'll have the whole world singing
Where's the beauty in our lives?
Where's the love gone that we hide?
We sold ourselves on shelves
Now there's nothing left to sell
So buy a car and sell your wife
Feed kids Ritalin' to make 'em right
Keep mouths shut tight
They gotta learn how to fight right
I'm not sorry mother and all world over
I'll never be a part of your beautiful dream
At least I'm not lost in a sea of designer disease
Glad your pleased to be, I ain't dead yet you won't get me
Dad you had it all figured out so right
Till mom crashed into a police car that one night
Got her face smashed, back cracked, she needed you bad
You left her bleeding in the gutter
What do you got?
What do you need?
What's for sale?
We'll have the whole word singing
Where's the beauty in our lives
Where's the love gone that we hide
We sold ourselves on shelves
Now there's nothing left to sell
So buy a car and sell your wife
Feed kids Ritalin' to make 'em right
Keep mouths shut tight
They gotta learn how to fight right
Let's burn some dead presidents
On the white house door steps
I'll take that rag you call a flag
Soak up the blood of the innocent
Bush's skull and bones frat paid for Hitlers conquests
Brood for oil Iraq, Texas corporate sponsors
Can't you see through the mist
Of the brotherhoods iron fist
If we don't clear the smoke soon
We'll go until we don't exist
What do you got?
What do you need?
What's for sale?
We'll have the whole word singing
Where's the beauty in our lives
Where's the love gone that we hide
Sold ourselves on shelves
Now there's nothing left to sell
So buy a car and sell your wife
Feed kids Ritalin' to make 'em right
Keep mouths shut tight
They gotta learn how to fight right
Ohh, beautiful America, land of the free
Raped, and wasted youth
If I had just one wish that I could give to you
I'd ask for you to serve me
As your finest dish, a fish du fillet
Take my bones and exploit my brain
Express my images
Though all TV radio and sound waves
Give it a nice shiny finish to coat my rays
Make millions off of civilians to feed their empty space
So you can fuck me, rape me
Duct tape my face to a dollar bill and pay to hate me
America won't you please
Love me
