[Regina Spektor - The Trapper and the Furrier lyrics]
The trapper and the furrier
Went walking through paradise
And all the animals lay clawless
And toothless before them
And all the mothers stepped
Away from their babies
Leaving them open and easy to handle
The trapper and the furrier
Went walking through paradise
They took some for now and
They got some for later
And they marveled at the pelts
Not a bullet hole in them
And they filled up the cages
With pets for their children
What a strange, strange world we live in
Where the good are damned
And the wicked forgiven
What a strange, strange world we live in
Those who don't have lose
Those who got get given
More, more, more, more
The owner and the manager
Went walking through paradise
And all the shelves were filled
With awards and achievements
And on every corner, a power presentation
And on every floor, an army of workers
The owner and the manager
Went walking through paradise
And all their charts showed so
Much promise and progress
No sick days, no snow days, no unions
No taxes and they wandered towards home
Kings of their castles
What a strange, strange world we live in
Where the good are damned
And the wicked forgiven
What a strange, strange world we live in
Those who don't have lose
Those who got get given
More, more, more, more
The lawyer and the pharmacist
Went walking through paradise
And all the sick were around
Them with fevers unbreaking
Crying and bleeding and coughing and shaking
And arms outstretched
Prescription-collecting
The lawyer and the pharmacist
Went walking through paradise
Pressed suit's in a courtroom
Aroma of chloroform
And they smiled at the judge
Disposition so sunny
Cause they didn't have the cure
But sure needed the money
What a strange, strange world we live in
Where the good are damned
And the wicked forgiven
What a strange, strange world we live in
Those who don't have lose
Those who got get given
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
Went walking through paradise
And all the animals lay clawless
And toothless before them
And all the mothers stepped
Away from their babies
Leaving them open and easy to handle
The trapper and the furrier
Went walking through paradise
They took some for now and
They got some for later
And they marveled at the pelts
Not a bullet hole in them
And they filled up the cages
With pets for their children
What a strange, strange world we live in
Where the good are damned
And the wicked forgiven
What a strange, strange world we live in
Those who don't have lose
Those who got get given
More, more, more, more
The owner and the manager
Went walking through paradise
And all the shelves were filled
With awards and achievements
And on every corner, a power presentation
And on every floor, an army of workers
The owner and the manager
Went walking through paradise
And all their charts showed so
Much promise and progress
No sick days, no snow days, no unions
No taxes and they wandered towards home
Kings of their castles
What a strange, strange world we live in
Where the good are damned
And the wicked forgiven
What a strange, strange world we live in
Those who don't have lose
Those who got get given
More, more, more, more
The lawyer and the pharmacist
Went walking through paradise
And all the sick were around
Them with fevers unbreaking
Crying and bleeding and coughing and shaking
And arms outstretched
Prescription-collecting
The lawyer and the pharmacist
Went walking through paradise
Pressed suit's in a courtroom
Aroma of chloroform
And they smiled at the judge
Disposition so sunny
Cause they didn't have the cure
But sure needed the money
What a strange, strange world we live in
Where the good are damned
And the wicked forgiven
What a strange, strange world we live in
Those who don't have lose
Those who got get given
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
