Regina Spektor - The Trapper and the Furrier [Official Music Video] video free download

A few weeks ago I had a secret meeting in a stairwell and we shot this little video for The Trapper and The Furrier.

With all that is going on I wanted to share it. Good luck to us all. Good luck to our world. There are many kinds of paradise...Let's be on the side of those in need. Let's be on the side of those who love. Let's be on the side of those who care, who participate, who try... And if not all that, then at least, let's be on the side of those who pay their taxes;-)

Lyrics:

The trapper and the furrier

Went walking through paradise

And all the animals lay clawless

And toothless before them

And all the mothers stepped away from their babies

Leaving them open and easy to handle

The trapper and the furrier

Went walking through paradise

They took some for now

And they got some for later

And they marveled at the pelts,

Not a bullet-hole in ’em

And they filled up the cages

With pets for their children

What a strange, strange world we live in

Where the good are damned

And the wicked forgiven

What a strange, strange world we live in

Those who don’t have, lose

Those who got, get given

More, more, more, more. . .

The owner and the manager

Went walking through paradise

And all the shelves were filled

With awards and achievements

And on every corner a power presentation

And on every floor an army of workers

The owner and the manager

Went walking through paradise

And all their charts showed

So much promise and progress

No sick days, no snow days, no unions, no taxes

And they wandered towards home,

Kings of their castles

What a strange, strange world we live in

Where the good are damned

And the wicked forgiven

What a strange, strange world we live in

Those who don’t have, lose

Those who got, get given

More, more, more, more. . .

The lawyer and the pharmacist

Went walking through paradise

And all the sick were around them

With fevers unbreaking

Crying and bleeding and coughing and shaking

And arms outstretched, prescription collecting

The lawyer and the pharmacist

Went walking through paradise

Pressed suits in the courtroom

Aroma of chloroform

And they smiled at the judge,

Dispositions so sunny

’cause they didn’t have the cure but sure needed the money

What a strange, strange world we live in

Where the good are damned

And the wicked forgiven

What a strange, strange world we live in

Those who don’t have, lose

Those who got, get given

More, more, more, more

More, more, more, more. .
