Fatal Gift Lyrics - Emily Haines

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 

The things you own, they own you 

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 

All the things you own, they own you 

The things you own, they own you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

(All the things you own, they own you) 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

Close my eyes 

Close my eyes 

The things you own, they own you 

All the things you own, they own you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

(All the things you own, they own you) 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you 

And you own it and it owns you
