Metric - The Fatal Gift lyrics

Haven’t we made Enough for a living wage We accept the fatal gift A soup stone for our stove And a blindfold for our tears Paying for a living wage Know it’s a deceptive deal We accept the fatal gift They hover over where we live Ooh they give it to me Ooh they give it to me The things you own They own you All the things you own They own you ooh They give it to me Ooh they give it to me The things you own They own you All the things you own They own you ooh Ooh Haven’t we saved Enough to go away Enough to reach the coast Why do we stay Paying for a living wage I know it’s a deceptive deal We accept the fatal gift They hover over where we live Ooh they give it to me Ooh they give it to me The things you own They own you All the things you own They own you ooh They give it to me Ooh they give it to me The things you own They own you All the things you own They own you ooh Ooh Ooh they give it to me Ooh they give it to me The things you own They own you All the things you own They own you ooh They give it to me Ooh they give it to me The things you own They own you All the things you own They own you ooh Ooh ooh Why do we stay [x3]
