Strange Negotiations

You blew all your inheritance

And now you're trying to pin the blame on me

And I could write you off so easily

Except a hundred million other people agree

You kick and scream to get your way again,

But the writing is on the wall

Any minute you'll go on to your reward

Someone else is gonna make the call.

In these strange negotiations

Man they really are gettin' me down

Strange negotiations

Feel like a stranger in my hometown

Strange negotiations

You know I'm looking for a way around

All these strange negotiations.

You cut your leg off to save a buck or two

Because you never consider the cost

You find the lowest prices every day

But would you look at everything that we've lost

And yeah, it's true, I learned it from watching you,

But now it's you who doesn't know what a dollar is worth

You got the market its own bodyguard

And all the people are gettin' hurt

In these strange negotiations

Man they really are gettin' me down

Strange negotiations

Feel like a stranger in my hometown

Strange negotiations

You know I'm looking for a way around

All these strange negotiations.
