Lyrics
Somebody tried to sell me a bridge Just go ahead and try it they said and never mind But I just couldn't compromise When somebody just tried to sell me a bridge I couldn't go against what I believed Or I would have to pay a very heavy price So I couldn't buy into it or just roll the dice When somebody tried to sell me a bridge Devil to pay, either way I may be a lot of things but stupid I'm not If you don't know who you're dealing with Then just go on ahead, go on ahead and fold up your tent Somebody tried to sell me a bridge Just like money must mean to them everything They tried to play me, play me for a fool But they weren't really listening to me Somebody tried to sell me a bridge Devil to pay, either way I may be a lot of things but stupid I'm not If you don't know who you're dealing with Then just go ahead, go ahead and fold up your tent Somebody tried to sell me a bridge Like they said money, money means everything They tried to play me, play me for a fool But they weren't really listening They tried to sell me a bridge They never listened to what I had to say They kept on talking all over the place They didn't listen enough to what I said Well they thought they could sell me a bridge Somebody tried to sell me a bridge They said just go ahead and go ahead and never mind But I couldn't compromise what it is When somebody tried to sell me a bridge Somebody tried to sell me a bridge Somebody tried to sell me a bridge Somebody tried to sell me a bridge Somebody tried to sell me a bridge Somebody tried to sell me a bridge Somebody tried to sell me a bridge They said go ahead, go ahead, go ahead Somebody can make it rich Somebody can make it rich Somebody tried to sell me a bridge Somebody can make it rich Somebody can make it rich Somebody tried to sell me a bridge Somebody tried to sell me a bridge
