It's Not For Sale (2:36)

It’s Not for Sale

Up in the North Atlantic there’s a place that’s quite well known

Though not too many visit, even fewer call it home.

Subjects of the Danish Crown, an independent state,

But you can’t procure a nation or just monetize their fate

Chorus

It’s not for sale, It’s not for sale

You can throw a temper tantrum

You can rant and you can rail

But you can’t have everything you want

You’re not too big to fail

It’s not for sale, It’s not for sale

The Prime Minster of Denmark said, “This is quite absurd!

You cannot purchase Greenland, and that’s the final word.”

You called the woman “Nasty” ‘cause she would not do your bidding

People all around the world say “Man, is this guy kidding?”

Chorus

Now there is no fake truth, there is only fact or fiction

No bloviating blunderbuss can reconcile the friction

A Tweet is not a law, and no order can be given,

To make a people sell to you, the Country that they live in!

Chorus

It’s not for sale,It’s not for sale

Try Iceland…

It’s not for sale, It’s not for sale
