Did I Buy It?

Every day I drink up a cup of Joe

Instant coffee in my cup 'cause I don't have time to spare

In my car, I think about the big stuff

Money, fame, misery and those kinds of things

I hear talk that it's the end times

They've been saying that from the start

There comes a time when we all must ask

"Did I buy it, or was it sold to me?"

The siren wails way way off in the distance

Some foreign anguish to the back sounds of my day

In the square, I see Mary in her new suit

She waves "Hello" but my hands weighed down

By my shopping bags, I can't wave back

I hear talk that it's the end times

They've been saying that from the start

There comes a time when we all must ask

"Did I buy it, or was it sold to me?"

To me

To me

To me
