Regina Spektor - The Trapper And The Furrier Lyrics

The trapper and the furrier
went walking through paradise
And all the animals lay clawless and toothless
before them
And all the mothers stepped away from their babies
Leaving them open and easy to handle

The trapper and the furrier
went walking through paradise
They took some for now and they got some for later
And they marveled at the pelts, not a bullet hole in them
And they filled up the cages with pets for their children

What a strange, strange world we live in
Where the good are damned and the wicked forgiven
What a strange, strange world we live in
Those who don't have lose, those who got get given
More, more, more, more

The owner and the manager
went walking through paradise
And all the shelves were filled
with awards and achievements
And on every corner, a power presentation
And on every floor, an army of workers

The owner and the manager
went walking through paradise
And all their charts showed
so much promise and progress
No sick days, no snow days, no unions, no taxes
And they wandered towards home, kings of their castles

What a strange, strange world we live in
Where the good are damned and the wicked forgiven
What a strange, strange world we live in
Those who don't have lose, those who got get given
More, more, more, more

The lawyer and the pharmacist
went walking through paradise
And all the sick were around them
with fevers unbreaking
Crying and bleeding and coughing and shaking
And arms outstretched, prescription-collecting

The lawyer and the pharmacist
went walking through paradise
Pressed suits in a courtroom, aroma of chloroform
And they smiled at the judge, disposition so sunny
Cause they didn't have the cure
but sure needed the money

What a strange, strange world we live in
Where the good are damned and the wicked forgiven
What a strange, strange world we live in
Those who don't have lose, those who got get given
More, more, more, more

More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
