You Bought It - Peter Himmelman
You bought it you bought it
you bought it you bought it
you wanted to stand but they told you to fall
you wanted to go but they told you to stall
you needed to speak but they made you refrain
you wanted some comfort but they gave you pain
you bought it you bought it
you wanted to run but they told you to walk
you had nothing to say but then they made you talk
you need some strength but they made you weak
they kept you silent when you had to speak
you bought it you bought it
they showed it to you and you laid your money down
well it looked like what you wanted
but it laid you in the ground
you needed respect they laughed in your face
you cried out for dignity they gave you disgrace
you needed some healing but they made you ill
you wanted to love but they made you kill
you bought it You bought it
they showed it to you and you laid your money down
well it looked like what you wanted
but it laid you in the ground
they gave you science when you needed god
they gave you asphalt when you wanted sod
they brought you a doctor when you needed a priest
you called out for a friend and they gave you a thief
you bought it you bought it
