selling my heart at the county fair
figured someone else could use it
i sure as fuck dont need one
go ahead and take my brain too
i'd be happy to rid myself of it

standing at the corner of the county fair
peddling my organs to one and all
maybe i could at least make some cash off 'em
the tiniest of consolation prizes
but i cant stand them anymore

a man comes up to make an offer
"twenty five cents for each"
i argue that they still work
he tells me that they dont
the old man's fuckin right

i hold out for a better offer
surely i'm worth more than that
but the hours fly by and i still i stand
holding them aloft for show
depression sets in

and on the final minute
of the grand county fair
i toss them in the dumpster
there's no market for damaged goods
and i wont compromise my heart
-one thing to remember, always have a good time, all the time
