Lyrics for What Was Advertised
When it all went off the rails Come to port with tattered sails Every victory and fail Adds to nothing And you're grateful for the grift For the ticket and the lift Another pint another fifth Down to empty Still I've yet to see, what was advertised to me Well I need something to go my way The whole thing is upside down The lost and never found We're gonna sell it by the pound When it's over Did you dig yourself a hole With your lack of self control? Well if that ain't rock and roll I've never seen it Still I've yet to see, what was advertised to me Well I need something to go my way The gospel from the lie The ears of passers by Pretty sure you ought to try To learn the difference Where the hell did you come from? Are you only playing dumb? What's that tune you made me hum Little darling? Still I've yet to see what was advertised to me Well I need something to go my way Still I've yet to see what was advertised to me Well I need something to go my way
