Standard (EADGBE)

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 its 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
