Coyote Zen #3

Lyrics
and Thoughts
of THE COYOTE

You've Been Sold

 

Does anyone know where they should be?

Does anyone know when they're really free

We give up, and give in, to still feel bad

Wishing for something we already had

When it seems farther, from your grasp

The future looks brighter when seen through the past

 

It's so hard, it's so cold, it's so cold

Doing what's expected, what you've been told

It's so hard, keeping my cool, keeping my cool

When you don't get what you've been sold

 

Dreams are for sale, we all name our price

Sometimes we pay more to put them on ice

Survival we blame, has to come first

But doing without dreams is a starvation worse

 

It's not giving up when you decide to complain

Sometimes it's hard to understand or even explain

So we search for our mistakes, we hope to correct

To change the future into what we expect

 

It's so hard, it's so cold, it's so cold ... what you've been sold
