Tragedy of the Commons Lyrics


The vast expanse of the new frontier

Makes the next move plain as day

An overfilling cup for you drinking types

And the stock looks good at the IPO

I think you've got some good ideas

But I've got a bunch of stuff to do

It's all the same, it's just a game

So run it for a thing or two

Well I thought we had a deal

We're brothers in this world

But I am hungrier now

Than when we first shook hands

I think I'm a little sick

So why don't you give a brother a hand?

You're looking great these days, but I should

Get back to work

One for me, two for you

Plenty for all of us

More for me? two for you

Spending for all of us

One for me, two for you

Plenty for all of us

More for me? two for you

There's more where that came from

This morning you woke to the sound

Of sirens in the street

A quick phone call and some riot troops

Are all that's needed today

One for me, two for you

Plenty for all of us

More for me? two for you

Spending for all of us

One for me? two for you

Plenty for all of us

More for me? two for you

There's more where that came from

As the sun sets on the horizon

I'm glad at least one of us

Will make it 'cross the finish line

As the world starts to rust

When we meet on the other side

And it's time to put things right

I'll tear off your fucking head and feed it

To all of those who died

One for me, two for you

Plenty for all of us

More for me? two for you

Spending for all of us

One for me, two for you

Plenty for all of us

More for me? two for you

I finally understand
