Bankrupt on Selling

Mike's friend, Pat, was cool enough to download and burn every single Modest Mouse CD for me. What a great guy. I was listening to them, and goddamit, Modest Mouse kicks ass.

The song, "Bankrupt on Selling" off the "Lonesome Crowded West album struck me. That song reminds me of living in Oklahoma & California. If you ever get a chance, you should listen to it.
Here's the lyrics:

Well all the apostles-they're sitting in their swings
saying "I'd sell off my savior for a set of new rings
and some sandles with the style of straps that cling best to the era"
So all of the businessers in their unlimited hell where they buy and they sell and they sell all their trash to each other but they're sick of it all
and they're bankrupt on selling.
And all of the angels, they'd sell off your soul for a set of new wings and anything gold
they remember the people they loved their old friends
and i've seen through'em all seen through'em all and seen through most everything
All the people you knew were the actors.
All the people you knew were the actors.
Well, I'll go to college and I'll learn some big words and I'll talk real loud
Goddamn right I'll be heard.
You'll remember all the guys that said all those big words he must've
learned in college.
And it took a long time till I came clean with myself
I've come clean out of love with my lover
I still love her
Loved her more when she used to be sober and i was kinder
