David Bazan - Strange Negotiations lyrics

rate me

You blew all your inheritance

And now you're trying to pin the blame on me

And I could write you off so easily

Except a hundred million other people agree.

You kick and scream to get your way again

But the writing is on the wall

Any minute you'll go on to your reward

And someone else is gonna make the call.

Chorus:

In these strange negotiations

Man they really are getting me down.

Strange negotiations

Feel like a stranger in my home town.

Strange negotiations

You know I'm looking for a way around

All these strange negotiations.

You cut your leg off to save a buck or two

Because you never consider the cost

You find the lowest prices everyday

But would you look at everything that we've lost.

Yeah, it's true I learned it from watching you

But now it's you who doesn't know what a dollar is worth

You got the market its own bodyguard

And all the people are getting hurt.

Chorus:

In these strange negotiations

Man they really are getting me down.

Strange negotiations

Feel like a stranger in my home town.

Strange negotiations

You know I'm looking for a way around

All these strange negotiations.
