The Trapper and the Furrier |
The trapper and the furrier went walking through paradise |
And all the animals lay clawless and toothless before them |
And all the mothers stepped away from their babies |
Leaving them open and easy to handle |
The trapper and the furrier went walking through paradise |
They took some for now and they got some for later |
And they marveled at the pelts, not a bullet hole in them |
And they filled up the cages with pets for their children |
What a strange, strange world we live in |
Where the good are damned and the wicked forgiven |
What a strange, strange world we live in |
Those who don’t have lose, those who got get given |
More, more, more, more |
The owner and the manager went walking through paradise |
And all the shelves were filled with awards and achievements |
And on every corner, a power presentation |
And on every floor, an army of workers |
The owner and the manager went walking through paradise |
And all their charts showed so much promise and progress |
No sick days, no snow days, no unions, no taxes |
And they wandered towards home, kings of their castles |
What a strange, strange world we live in |
Where the good are damned and the wicked forgiven |
What a strange, strange world we live in |
Those who don’t have lose, those who got get given |
More, more, more, more |
The lawyer and the pharmacist went walking through paradise |
And all the sick were around them with fevers unbreaking |
Crying and bleeding and coughing and shaking |
And arms outstretched, prescription-collecting |
The lawyer and the pharmacist went walking through paradise |
Pressed suits in a courtroom, aroma of chloroform |
And they smiled at the judge, disposition so sunny |
Cause they didn’t have the cure but sure needed the money |
What a strange, strange world we live in |
Where the good are damned and the wicked forgiven |
What a strange, strange world we live in |
Those who don’t have lose, those who got get given |
More, more, more, more |
More, more, more, more |
More, more, more, more |
More, more, more, more |
More, more, more, more |
