You blew all your inheritance
And now you're trying to pin the blame on me
And I could write you off so easily
Except a hundred million other people agree
You kick and scream to get your way again
But the writing is on the wall
Any minute you'll go on to your reward
And someone else is gonna make the call
In these strange negotiations
Man they really are getting me down
Strange negotiations
Feel like a stranger in my home town
Strange negotiations
You know I'm looking for a way around
All these strange negotiations
You cut your leg off to save a buck or two
Because you never consider the cost
You find the lowest prices everyday
But would you look at everything that we've lost
Yeah, it's true I learned it from watching you
But now it's you who doesn't know what a dollar is worth
You got the market it's own bodyguard
And all the people are getting hurt
In these strange negotiations
Man they really are getting me down
Strange negotiations
Feel like a stranger in my home town
Strange negotiations
You know I'm looking for a way around
All these strange negotiations
