John Moreland
Cheap Idols Dressed in Expensive Garbage
[Verse 1]
Brother come out of your slumber
Before the devil knows your number
Passing down our grief and illness
Plastic flowers, plastic business
[Chorus]
Cheap idols dressed in expensive garbage
Cheap idols dressed in expensive garbage
We can't afford the deal we bargained
Cheap idols dressed in expensive garbage
[Verse 2]
The bright blue night will surely shake us
The stars will write the songs that save us
Our pitter patter is the rain
The trees will not recall my name
[Bridge]
Cheap idols dressed in expensive garbage
Cheap idols dressed in expensive garbage
[Verse 3]
There's a monument that bears your name
To remind you of your fragile fame
To remind you of the choice you made
To spin your wheels into the grave
[Chorus]
Cheap idols dressed in expensive garbage
Cheap idols dressed in expensive garbage
We can't afford the deal we bargained
Cheap idols dressed in expensive garbage
