lyrics

Oh, you’ve got a lovely turn of phrase, leading us a dance through an untruth maze.
When all truth is fictionless, a story more or less, I can’t believe a word you say
Oh you got a lovely dimpled smile, say you’ll take our shoes and you’ll walk a mile
‘Cos a well used platitude, and a high brow attitude works to fool once in a while

I don’t believe that in your heart you mean to keep us all together
I don’t believe the words you say will end in making our lives better

County for Sale, fresh on the carousel. Country for Sale, everything worth cash must sell

Oh, you got a warm embracing charm, like a lost Sad Sam that can do no harm
But things you give away are not just gone, but its all those places they came from

I don’t believe that in your heart of hearts you want to make us better
I don’t believe that in your words you will bring us all together

County for Sale, fresh on the carousel. Country for Sale, everything worth cash must sell

So you think you’re heart and mind’s the same and if I cried you’d feel my pain
but I’ve more to lose and less to give away. Country for Sale.
