Andrew Bird - Give It Away lyrics

Did you give it away
Did you give it away for free
Don't you give it away
Let's try to keep it in the family
I know you know desolation
Coming home with your pockets full of sand
I know it's no vacation
Now you're plowing your tiny patch of land
In a nation under your command
Did you give it away yeah I gave it away
Did you give it away for free
What would you have us pay?
I didn't know that your love was a commodity
What about appreciation
That depends on your depth and density
What about inflation
Your charts and graphs don't mean
A thing to me
In your nation with it's worthless currency
Would you hide in the hay
Would you hide in the hay with me
Won't you hide in the hay
Where it's dark and we can
Scarcely breathe or see assured asphyxiation
Where the foxes and field
Mice make their dens death by association
I swore I'd never take anyone there again
To this nation a nation under your command
