Sell Cheap, Tell The Truth


Mrs. B from Belarus.
Sold cheap and told the truth.
Started with 500 bucks.
Caught some breaks, caught some luck.
Now it's worth a billion or two.
Warren Buffet had a clue.
Absorb the lessons from Omaha.
Lessons not taught in Ivy halls.

Sell cheap.
Tell the truth.
Sell cheap.
Tell the truth.
Sell cheap.
Tell the truth.
Sell cheap.
Tell the truth.

So come on in, make yourself at home.
We'll help you out, we'll leave you alone.
Whatever you need us to do.
Keep you clear of the overpriced blues.
A couch, a chair, a floor, a bed.
Need an appliance, need to get fed.
Count on us, we'll do our part.
At the Nebraska Furniture Mart.

We started in around the late 40's, picking fights, manipulation, sinister and crude.  Stealthy.  Spies with eyes in the skies.  Peace was never kept, it was invaded.  America was a TV show on CBS.

Sources Say 2: They Miss The Ink

  Related to manipulation abuse, but with a capitalistic twist.  They are paid by the manipulators and the victims of manipulation.  It's a winning business model until the walls come crumbling down on the street, until the curtains pull back.  You thought Oz was bad, at least they got you back to Kansas.  These journal jerks got nothing. Even a few of my sources have moved on, the wreck has left the place dim and disgruntled.  Evidently, what's-her-name stormed out of a staff meeting in tears, mumbling something about pills and booze and karaoke night.  Guess it didn't go well.  Everyone laughed at her when she left the room, seems a real toxic work environment.  They miss the ink. But that won't stop them from cheering on China, and for good reasons.  Ask the finance department.  Money's money, honey, and they got the name, the bull statue, the cufflinks.  They got smear jobs, insinuations, and an editorial board.  Somew...
