Trades And Tariffs Lyrics - The Dodos

Pace, back and forth along this road 

All the stops we just go by 

To the faces that we know 

To the faces that we hide 

Yeah we walk as if we're told 

"Not a single head held high" 

To the ones we've come to know 

To the ones we'll lose in time 

You give me yours, I give you mine 

You never want it, you never want it 

I gave you yours, now give me mine 

I never want it, I never wanted it all 

In past, a creation we defy 

We're a group of undecideds 

While the fate of nation slides 

We just keep from getting high 

And we stick to what we know 

It's the things that get us by 

We'll just sit and spin our woe 

While the rest of earth just dies 

You give me yours, I give you mine 

You never want it, you never want it 

I gave you yours, now give me mine 

I never want it, I never wanted it all 

Faith, all the giving world has died 

This disease that gets us by 

It's a plague in peoples' minds 

It's a circle left untied 

To the ones who drink their wine 

While the rest of us just die 

Yeah they raise their glasses high 

To the ones they'll kill in time 

You give me yours, I give you mine 

You never want it, you never want it 

I gave you yours, now give me mine 

I never want it, I never wanted it all
