Wake up in the morning At the nine Make your way through the traffic And do it right Put a smile on your face And pretend that you're not dying inside Buy and sell Buying and selling babe Buy and sell I'm selling more than just services I'm selling my soul My tears, my bones, my blood And it’s hard to manage When you're giving all of you In exchange for a distant view of paradise I'm selling more than just services I'm selling my soul My tears, my bones, my blood And it’s hard to manage When you're giving all of you In exchange for a distant view of paradise Isn't this what we all are doing? Living to pay bills Fighting not to just be a number Taking prescription pills And it makes me wonder If we are all lost in a haze I'm selling my soul for a dream We are selling our souls for our dreams We are selling lives for money I'm selling myself for a little view So far away from my private heaven
