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...
