Did  you give it away
Did  you give it away for  free
 Don't you give it away
 Let's try to keep it in the family
I  know you know desolation
Coming  home with your pockets full of  sand
 I know it's no vacation
Now  you're plowing your tiny patch of  land
In  a nation under your command
Did  you give it away (Yeah  I gave it away)
Did  you give it away for  free
What  would you have us pay?
 I didn't know that your love was a commodity
What  about appreciation
That  depends on your depth and density
What  about inflation
Your  charts and graphs don't mean a thing to  me
 In your nation with  its worthless currency
Would  you hide in the hay
Would  you hide in the hay with me
Won't  you hide in the hay
Where  it's dark and we can scarcely  breathe or see
Assured  asphyxiation
Where  the foxes and field mice make  their dens
Death  by association
I  swore I'd never take anyone there  again
To  this nation
A  nation under your command
