Kitchenware & Candy Bars Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Somebody told me
I know where to go
Somebody showed me
I was last to know
[Pre-Chorus]
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
[Chorus 1]
What I wanted
Is what I wanted
What I wanted
Is what she wanted
[Verse 2]
Unfriendly feelings
Down on wounded knees
Unfriendly reasons
Some blind mother's need
[Pre-Chorus]
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Somebody told me
I know where to go
Somebody showed me
I was last to know
[Pre-Chorus]
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
[Chorus 1]
What I wanted
Is what I wanted
What I wanted
Is what she wanted
[Verse 2]
Unfriendly feelings
Down on wounded knees
Unfriendly reasons
Some blind mother's need
[Pre-Chorus]
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
[Chorus 2]
What I wanted
Is what we wanted
What we wanted
Is what she wanted
[Bridge]
You read the words and it sells you life
They sell their words, but it's all a lie
[Verse 1]
Somebody told me
I know where to go
Somebody showed me
I was last to know
[Pre-Chorus]
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
[Chorus 3]
What I wanted
Is what I wanted
What we wanted
Is what we wanted
What I wanted
Is what we wanted
What we wanted
Is what she wanted
[Bridge]
You read the words and it sells you life
They sell their words, but it's all a lie
[Verse 1]
Somebody told me
I know where to go
Somebody showed me
I was last to know
[Pre-Chorus]
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
[Chorus 3]
What I wanted
Is what I wanted
What we wanted
Is what we wanted
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 4]
What I wanted
Is what I wanted
Is what we wanted
Is what she wanted
[Chorus 4]
What I wanted
Is what I wanted
Is what we wanted
Is what she wanted
