Bankrupt on Selling - Modest Mouse

Well all the Apostles, they’re sitting in swings

Saying, «I'd sell off my Savior for a set of new rings

They remember the people they loved, their old friends

And I’ve seen through 'em all, seen through 'em all

Seen through most everything

And I’ll talk real loud, goddamn right I’ll be heard
