Everything Must Go on CD = Balancing the Weight of Life
I put a for sale sign in the front yard with a table full of memories
Mom’s dishes and Great Grandpas’s radio
The foreclosure is a done deal so I made some baloney sandwiches
Packed them in a cooler for the road
The time for moving on has come at last, Everything must go
It’s hard luck and a hard time I paid ten dollars but I’ll sell for a dime
Everything must go
Hard work down the drain it’s a hard knock, a real damn shame
Everything must go
They’ve papered and boarded the windows of half the home town store fronts
For the owners and the mom’s and pop’s it’s quite a blow
The don’t have a cash flow, they’ve exhausted all their credit,
Run through their savings a long time ago
Every day somebody’s forced to admit, Everything must go
And that’s the way things go
When the deepest pockets run the show
