Mangan, Dan - Sold Lyrics






I thought the suits had come for me
Found alternatives to honesty
Body and soul were bought and sold
Patented and out of reach

So I reach, but it hurts, it kills
It screams, and it fills
My heart with chills
And I take my pills
But I'm still
Tired of sleeping with the light on

But if it keeps the hair out of my eyes
Pack it up and send it home
For just one stab at the good life
That's enough and I'm sold

So I gave up all my wretched thoughts
And left them out for the less fortunate
And at the gates I'll skip the queue
Life's not living 'less you're sure to make it through

But now it hurts, it kills
It screams, and it fills
My heart with chills
And I take my pills
But I'm still tired
Of sleeping with the light on

But if it keeps the hair out of my eyes
Pack it up and send it home
For just one stab at the good life
That's enough and I'm sold
Lord, I'm sold
Go on pack me up, I'm sold

Go on pack me up, I'm sold
Go on pack me up, I'm sold
Go on pack me up, I'm sold
Go on pack me up, I'm sold
Go on pack me up, I'm sold
Pack me up, I'm sold

If it keeps the hair out of my eyes
Pack it up and send it home
For just one stab at the good life
That's enough and I'm sold

    There's a dialog in the last chapter of "Better call Saul" that is pretty much identical to the one in this intro.

    i.... p....

    +isaac priego It's weird that you should say that because in the related videos for this song there a few 'timber timbre' songs, who I first heard from the Breaking bad soundtrack.

    Hipsters

  38. J.... S....

    Is it just me or does Dan seem like he could be my best friend?

  39. M.... D....

    Longest Trip For Apples Ever!

  40. J.... C....

    It's cool that you picked up on the tallerex thing so he could reach the natural apples. I looked at the whole piece more as a statement on food preservatives and idolizing pharma culture/drug addiction.

  41. b.... ....

    Blue cheese expiration date 2072, god damn that must be some strong cheese...

  42. j.... ....

    Lol who the fuck knows what kind of apples there are lol

    j.... ....

    People over 13.

  43. R.... ....

    As a proud straight Canadian, I'd fuck his beard and tell all my hockey friends.

  44. H.... S....

    So happy he was added to the lineup for the simcoe stopover

  45. O.... C....

    Can't. Stop. Listening. To. This. Song. <3

  46. L.... M....

    i get to see him!

  47. E.... P....

    I get the idea that is about advertisement and how the society you live can pressure you into buying stuff. Kind of like the little girl wanted alcohol to be like her role model. The doctor offered him Tallerex so that he could reach the fresh apples instead of having to eat the unnatural ones. The baby eating refined sugar instead of something healthy. It also has a message about your body and soul being a result of the society you live in. I could say more but I won't, but I could.

  48. T.... T....

    I have no idea what this music video is about........

    T.... T....

    Don't feel bad. Neither did the people who made it.

  49. n.... s....

    this song & vid brightened me heart!

  53. J.... C....

  54. K.... ....

    Advertising is the single most weird thing humanity has come up with.

  55. K.... ....
