Well I heard you sold them America

You said it was built to last

Price is right, the time is now

You said it was going fast



Well I've got my beliefs

And I don't agree with a single word you say

A convincing smile, a twist of truth

You seem to get your way



And they believed you

With every word you said

It always sounded so convincing

As you signed their life away

So tell me what you're thinking

When you lie in your bed

The suffering you've caused

Surely it must go around your head



Well they call you Mr Cover

A predator at heart

A man who's reputation

Was dangerous from the start

You lie and you steal, cheat and you rob

Sold anything you could

You never had a second thought for people that you hurt



And they believed you

With every word you said

It always sounded so convincing

As you signed their life away

So tell me what you're thinking

When you lie in your bed

The suffering you've caused

Surely it must go around your head



It's been so many years

Well you've hurt so many people

As you've singed their lives away

Do you ever spare a moment's thought about the price they have to pay?



And they believed you

With every word you said

It always sounded so convincing

As you signed their life away

So tell me what you're thinking

When you lie in your bed

The suffering you've caused

Surely it must go around your head...
