Lyrics

Never give a sucker an even break Just dump it on the market and get what you can take If your article ain’t genuine push what you can fake Sell your mama’s soul you’re on the take You sold the family heirlooms when no one was at home You substituted plastic and sold your doggie’s bone You’re selling Styrofoam inside the wedding cake Sell your mama’s soul you’re on the take I see a green parkland you see a parking lot All you see is profits in everything we’ve got Some things just can’t be bought buddy you’re making a mistake Sell your mama’s soul you’re on the take Commodities are something something that you make But you’d sell off our forests you’d sell off our lakes You’d sell them ‘til we’re bankrupt you’d sell them ‘til we break Sell your mama’s soul you’re on the take
