From
the album Geometry
And
the merchants of the earth will weep
when no one’s buying their cargo anymore
Cargoes
of gold, silver , precious stones and pearls
Fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet cloth
PC, PDA, HDTV
and everything down at the Dollar Store
What
could you do?
Oh, but what’s said of you?
And
the captains of the sea will cry
when no one’s buying their cargo anymore
Cargoes
of cinnamon, spice, incense, and perfume
Fine flour, oil, wine, and wheat
CD, DVD, MP3
Cattle, sheep, horses, and motorcars
and the bodies and the souls of men
What
could you do?
Oh, but what's said of you?
