[Verse 1] They sold me a season in a silver wrapper Count every breath, make it fit the channel Faces on screens in a tailored pasture Smile for the logo, bleed for the panel My hunger got priced in a corporate language My name on a form, my spine in a calendar Art turned to product, then product to damage I chew on the glass of the handler [Pre-Chorus] And I can feel them pulling the strings In every hand that reaches for me A painted world with a barcode heart We were alive before they split it apart [Chorus] We are not for sale We are not for sale Bite down, burn the seal We are not for sale They put a brand on pain Then call it truth and grace We are not for sale We are not for sale [Verse 2] Billboards bloom like bruises on the avenue Every dream comes stapled with a fee They rent the sky, then charge you for the view Turned every need into a vanity My mother worked till her hands went silent My father laughed through a factory cough Now every kid gets dressed in the crisis Told to call it freedom when the cage locks off [Pre-Chorus] And I can hear the paper wings From the boardroom saints with their polished teeth A painted world with a barcode heart We were alive before they split it apart [Chorus] We are not for sale We are not for sale Bite down, burn the seal We are not for sale They put a brand on pain Then call it truth and grace We are not for sale We are not for sale [Bridge] [Half-time] Cut the feed Cut the thread Take your hands Off my head I want dirt on my shoes I want blood in the clay I want art that bites back I want life unchained [Breakdown] Name by name Line by line They auctioned off the heart And called it mine Name by name Line by line We tear the frame And take back time [Final Chorus] We are not for sale We are not for sale Bite down, burn the seal We are not for sale They put a brand on pain Then call it truth and grace We are not for sale We are not for sale We are not for sale We are not for sale
