What Was Advertised Songtext
von Turnpike Troubadours

When it all went off the rails
Come to port with tattered sails
Every victory and fail
Adds to nothing

And you′re grateful for the grift
For the ticket and the lift
Another pint another fifth
Down to empty

Still I've yet to see, what was advertised to me
Well I need something to go my way

The whole thing is upside down
The lost and never found
We′re gonna sell it by the pound
When it's over


Did you dig yourself a hole
With your lack of self control?
Well if that ain't rock and roll
I′ve never seen it

Still I′ve yet to see, what was advertised to me
Well I need something to go my way

The gospel from the lie
The ears of passers by
Pretty sure you ought to try
To learn the difference

Where the hell did you come from?
Are you only playing dumb?
What's that tune you made me hum
Little darling?

Still I′ve yet to see what was advertised to me
Well I need something to go my way

Still I've yet to see what was advertised to me
Well I need something to go my way
