about

Sold Out: based on a crazy finger-twisting Dixie Dregs-ish lick our guitarist, Mack Price, came up with. This song deals with selling your soul for success. Being lured by a greedy record company (or another such entity), squeezed dry, and being confined to live up to the image that they have created. Not that I speak from experience, but I have friends who have signed deals with mammoth labels, and recorded good albums that were never released. The theme of this song is not just confined to music. The title speaks for itself.

-Joe Deninzon

lyrics

Sold out
Music and lyrics by Joe Deninzon and Mack Price

Broken promises Play a wicked game of Simon says
Risking everything Flying high until they clip your wings

You’ve been torn Long before you were born
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

Evil guessing games Every move you make you feel ashamed
Tearing at the seams Crying out for all your broken dreams

You’ve been drowned Sold for a dollar a pound
Gone in a whisper Gone in a moment
Crashed before you hit the ground

You’ve been sold out

False alliances
Don’t believe in what your lifeline says Time and broken glass
Watered down to feed the unwashed mass

You’ve been had Slave to a world gone mad
All that you wanted All that you worked
You got and it hurt you so bad

You’ve been sold out

Sometimes everything aint what you wanna be
Sometimes everything aint what you thought it could be
