Messes

You blew all your inheritance 
  And now you're trying to pin the blame on me 
  And I could write you off so easily 
  Except a hundred million other people agree 
  You kick and scream to get your way again, 
  But the writing is on the wall 
  Any minute you'll go on to your reward 
  Someone else is gonna make the call. 

  In these strange negotiations 
  Man they really are gettin' me down 
  Strange negotiations 
  Feel like a stranger in my hometown 
  Strange negotiations 
  You know I'm looking for a way around 
  All these strange negotiations. 

  You cut your leg off to save a buck or two 
  Because you never consider the cost 
  You find the lowest prices every day 
  But would you look at everything that we've lost 
  And yeah, it's true, I learned it from watching you, 
  But now it's you who doesn't know what a dollar is worth 
  You got the market its own bodyguard 
  And all the people are gettin' hurt 

  In these strange negotiations 
  Man they really are gettin' me down 
  Strange negotiations 
  Feel like a stranger in my hometown 
  Strange negotiations 
  You know I'm looking for a way around 
  All these strange negotiations.
