Give It Away - Andrew Bird
Did you give it away
Did you give it away for free
Don't you give it away
Let's try to keep it in our family
I know you know desolation
Coming home with your pockets full of sand
I know it's no vacation oh
Now you're plowing your tiny patch of land
In a nation under your command
Did you give it away
Ye give it away
Did you give it away for free
What would you have us pay
I didn't know that your love was a commodity
What about appreciation oh
That depends on your depth and density
What about inflation oh
Your charts and graphs don't mean a thing to me
In your nation with its worthless currency
Won't you give it away
Won't you give it away for free
Won't you give it away
Won't you give it away to me
Won't you give it away
Won't you give it away for free
Won't you give it away
Won't you give it away to me
Would you hide in the hay
Would you hide in the hay with me
Won't you hide in the hay
Where it's dark and you can scarcely breathe or see
Assured asphyxiation
Where the foxes and field mice make their dens
Death by association
I swore I'd never take anyone there again
To this nation
A nation under your command
Nation A nation under your command
Nation A nation under your command
