Take me down the silver river, sell my bones for oil
Sell my dignity for half a bar of gold
Sell my freedom for another bit of capital idea
And when you're done I will not worry I've been sold
Take me far away from here and sell my soul for lights
Sell my everything for just one special night
Sell all of my possessions so you cannot see their worth
And when you're done I will not say I wasn't told
Tell my loving family this wasn't just their fault
And tell the world that made me whole was not a joke
And that the little education I have had was pure elation
And that the only ones who die are those who smoke
Oh, take me down the silver river and sell my hair for food
Sell my independence first so there's no fight
Take my little things away, so there's no memories and Hey!
When your done you can just sail into the night
Oh, tell my loving family this wasn't just their fault
And tell the world that made me whole was not a joke
And that the little education I have had was pure elation
And that the only ones who die are those who smoke
Oh take me down a peg or two, cause I'm nothing else to you
Take me down a peg or two and I won't fight
And since I cannot be set free, there's nothing left for me
For now it seems that they control my right to die
Oh you control
My right to die
Oh you control
My right to die
Oh you control
Yeah, my right to die
Oh you control
My right to die
Oh you control (you take it all and fuck it up you break it all why couldn't I?)
Oh you control (you take it all and fuck it up you break it all why couldn't I?)
