The Trapper And The Furrier - Regina Spektor

The trapper and the furrier went walking through paradise

And all the animals lay clawless and toothless before them

And all the mother's stepped away from their babies

Leaving them open and easy to handle

The trapper and the furrier went walking through paradise

They took some for now and they got some for later

And they marveled at the pelts, not a bullet hole in them

And they filled up the cages with pets for their children

What a strange, strange world we live in

Where the good are damned and the wicked forgiven

What a strange, strange world we live in

Those who don't have lose, those who got get given

More, more, more, more

The owner and the manager went walking through paradise

And all the shelves were filled with awards and achievements

And on every corner, a power presentation

And on every floor, an army of workers

The owner and the manager went walking through paradise

And all their charts showed so much promise and progress

No sick days, no snow days, no unions, no taxes

And they wandered towards home, kings of their castles

What a strange, strange world we live in

Where the good are damned and the wicked forgiven

What a strange, strange world we live in

Those who don't have lose, those who got get given

More, more, more, more

The lawyer and the pharmacist went walking through paradise

And all the sick were around and with fevers unbreaking

Crying and bleeding and coughing and shaking

And arms out stretched, prescription collecting

The lawyer and the pharmacist went walking through paradise

Pressed suits in a courtroom, aroma of chloroform

And they smiled at the judge, disposition so sunny

Cause they didn't have the cure but sure needed the money

What a strange, strange world we live in

Where the good are damned and the wicked forgiven

What a strange, strange world we live in

Those who don't have lose, those who got get given

More, more, more, more

More, more, more, more

More, more, more, more

More, more, more, more

More, more, more, more
