About

The song is about the social malaise of nihilism that grips modern society and how people have seemingly lost hope and become alienated from each-other and the world.

Trades and Tariffs Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pace, back and forth along this road
All the stops we just go by
To the faces that we know
To the faces that we hide

[Verse 2]
Yeah we walk as if we're towed
Not a single head held high
To the ones we've come to know
To the ones we'll lose in time

[Chorus]
You give me yours, I give you mine
You never want it, you never want it
I gave you yours, now give me mine
I never want it, I never want it at all

[Verse 3]
The past, it creates and we defy
We're a group of undecides
While the fate of nation slides
We just keep on getting high

[Verse 4]
And we stick to what we know
It's the things that get us by
We'll just sit and spin our woe
While the rest of Earth just dies

[Chorus]
You give me yours, I give you mine
You never want it, you never want it
I gave you yours, now give me mine
I never want it, I never want it at all

[Verse 5]
The faith in the giving world has died
It's disease that gets us by
It's a plague in peoples' minds
It's a circle left untied

[Verse 6]
To the ones who drink their wine
While the rest of us just die
Yeah, they raise their glasses high
To the ones they'll kill in time

[Chorus]
You give me yours, I give you mine
You never want it, you never want it
I gave you yours, now give me mine
I never want it, I never want it at all
