Kingdom Of Loss – Pain Of Salvation Album: Scarsick (2007) Music & Lyrics by: Daniel Gildenlow (chords found by ear) Macubert Am D Someone sells us toys in a cheap cartoon Dm E D Someone sells us cars in the latest Bond that's coming soon Am D Someone sells us trends through a sitcom star Dm E D Someone sells herself in a docu-soap that goes too far C#m Life on sale! (Am D Dm E D…) ("Could someone please just tell me what happened? I mean, first we paid for fast- food that will make us all fat and tired. So then we pay for elevators, so we won't have to climb the 3 stairs up to our apartments. Then we buy freaking stairmaster machines so we can burn away while watching someone make real food on TV. Now if that doesn't make us winners, I don't know what will. I bet we would hang ourselves if the world would just cut us a slack. And now you think maybe you should see a shrink, help (me) feel alive again, yeah, that's a plan! Just tell us who to pay.") Am D Someone sells us man in a White House speech Dm Then woman tightly pressed between two E D bouncing breasts, on a Baywatch beach Am D Someone sells us us everywhere I turn Dm E D Then introducing them to earn stock-points on our concern C#m D All for sale, all for sale C#m D It's all for sale, all for sale Am Welcome down to planet Earth Em Please don't ask us what it's worth F You will notice that the world you found Dm C G Is slightly tattered and worn down Am Someone sold us every stain Em Now if you wish to complain F There's an open spot at 6 PM Dm C G It's when Caucasia is listening Am If you're tearing down my world C Dm Please just try to do it gently Am If you're tearing down my world C Dm Please just try to do it gently There is love inside Am For a dream that has to die (Am D Dm E D…) ("See, it's really all about time and choice. The fast food saves us enough time to squeeze lunch in exactly when we want it. The elevators save us just a little more, the stairmaster let us choose exactly when to walk the stairs. Time is so important these days, it's becoming a fucking disease, and I guess in a way it is since it's bound to kill us all in the end.Now with all the time and money we stashed away on others' expenses, I can only assume that the tickets to hell are really expensive. For some reason, it's important to be first in line.") Someone sells us god in 2-for-1 with shame Someone sells us war and the marketing, looks just the same Someone sells us fear on TV each day A shape for every taste; if the flavor’s right, we gladly pay All on sale, all on sale We're all on sale, all on sale Welcome to the only Earth Please enjoy your only birth You will learn to take more than you give Buying scars you must live with Someone sold us every scar They somehow made us what we are We all long that spot at 6 pm But no one is really listening (Am Em F Dm C G…) No, no Not anymore We're all too busy buying sex, buying war Buying self-confidence, security, insurance plans Just buying forever (Am C Dm …) As you're tearing down our world Please just try to do it gently There's still love inside As you're tearing down our world Please just try to do it gently There's still love inside For the dream that has to die
