Tradin Down Lyrics - Gravity's Rainbow - Pat Benatar

We paint this town in shades of gray 

And the walls look high 

'Til you step away 

Ain't it funny how you can look around 

And never see the truth 

'Til it knocks you down 

Never see the light 

'Til you're tradin down 

Work hard labor for your daily bread 

While the golden dream spins around your head 

Time gets money, money buys you time 

For the foolish things that you left behind 

Workin workin overtime 

And tradin down

It's gunna be alright (he said) 

It's gunna be alright 

There's nothing that's here for us 

That we won't mind missin 

Photos 

There's no future for thw workin man 

See him growin old in the promised land 

Nothin to show for the wasted years 

But a heart full of hollow 

And a taste of tears 

Pushin Monday to the wall and 

Tradin' Down...
