Regina Spektor - The Trapper And The Furrier Lyrics
The trapper and the furrier went walking through paradise
And all the animals lay clawless and toothless before them
And all the mother's stepped away from their babies
Leaving them open and easy to handle
The trapper and the furrier went walking through paradise
And they marveled at the pelts, not a bullet hole in them
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 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 and with fevers unbreaking
Crying and bleeding and coughing and shaking
And arms out stretched, prescription collecting
The lawyer and the pharmacist went walking through paradise
Pressed suits in a courtroom, aroma of chloroform
And they smiled at the judge, disposition 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
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more
More, more, more, more

Creepy shit
When you watch the yt channel TruthstreamMedia, this song makes even more sense. More, more, more!
Wow! How did I miss trhis? Could have been written anytime in the last three years. Hold it up for all to see!
2:33 me when i stand up too fast
Who in 2019
Definately right! Love your art!
She is rather amazing in so many ways. She has her own kind of voice, rich and luxurious. Her songwriting is on par with Kate Bush sometimes, even. Creativity all the way around.
What I don't understand is the number of views. Oh, they are pretty good, but should be way higher over this amount of time. I guess she is a sleeper and more people will have to share her links, huh?
Seeing this song performed live was an absolute delight. Regina sang it with so much passion, and that was the first time I heard this song, so naturally I was blown away. At the end, she took a deep breath and said “sorry, sometimes my own songs get me so fucking angry” so you know she meant every word she sang 100%. Needless to say, this is now my favorite song!
Love. And sad.
I nominate this as the Marianne Williamson campaign song! Money out of politics!
SHES JUST TO GOOD !!!!!!
You get more money by managing a disease rather than curing them.
This song sounds a lot like something Fiona Apple would do
Excellent
The opening kind me of walking in the few
Just awesome. Regina rocks.
Ominous af (*gear shift) Angelic af (*gear shift) Back to ominous af (*gear shift) back to angelic. its awesome how bipolar her music can be
You are beautiful inside and out.
i posted this the day trmpfp won, cautionary tale come true, but times are changin real quick
The trapper and the furry.
Human beings suck
Madness??
Que contadora de histórias maravilhosa. Quero more more more more disso
0:32 split personality disorder.
The "good" are damned because what is "good" is determined by the "wicked". Take back what is yours and make your own "good"
oh my god her eyes
This song literally gives me chills.
I'm studying pharmacy. Never thought I would take after my mother, but I really do love science and the knowledge that comes with it. And I'm saddened that Regina is vinilizing certain careers. I don't care about the money; I don't even want to focus on people: I want to focus on veterinary pharmacy, but I feel like a villain now. I have 5 dogs; I just wanted to help / to know how to help. Stop shaming us.
Today I can't stop thinking about this song
I am sorry for Regina, she is a great artist, but I have to say something: it is really interesting the fact that EVERYBODY would agree about the so called "inequality" in this world, the place where we live all together doing our little part (...and Regina is singing and doing her stuffs). WE are ALL sure to be in the GOOD side of this world: me, you, Regina, all our friends, and we include who is here chatting with us, of course. So, who is responsible of this horrible "inequality"? There must be someone else in the BAD side, isn't it? Damn! They must be few! And these evil monsters are hiding, they are greed people who owns our lives, they are smarter than us, and very powerful... they can ruin our beautiful world even if we, the good people, are the majority!! Hmmm... nice try, but i don't believe in this. The world is not bad or good, it is just what our society made, a society that can't have all winners, and can just try to have a law, an order, that is preferable than chaos, but this order will never satisfy our ideal expectations of goodness. Our vision on the world is just a faulty representation of our mind, nothing else. We are living for our sake, believing we do nothing bad to the others, but we fight each others everyday! The job you got, is the job someone else lost, the property you have is a property someone else can't have, a simple bottle of water is good for your health and is bad because the plastic is going to increase the Pacific Trash Vortex and is killing the oceans. Even the brightest things could have shadows: Regina is doing her success with Warner Bros, so she is inside the music business, and this is meaning a missed opportunity for minor artists to be recognized and live of their music... someone could say that in music business there is "inequality". So, are you sure we can point our fingers to sinners and saints? I am not, i am good and evil, i know i am, and i can do nothing about it, i can just live my life. Sorry for my rusty english, it is not my mother language.
A power presentation...
At first I thought she meant "a power point presentation"
is this fiona apple
When you think about the reality behind this song you cry tears of rage.
the worlds needs songs like this.
I can watch this with no sound <3
Theres too much pain. Help me.
j lennon working class hero...
She's amazing.
Gorgeous song, pointless video
made me think of ballad of a politician!! wahhhh I love you regina!!
I Mean Witht All Respect. opinions on female artist by females
Secret Meetings?
Великолепная песня.
Но нее можно было снять отличный клип(
How nicely this song and Paradise Papers compliment each other, eh?
...going to see Regina live for the first time this Friday. So excited about it. I've been a fan for years, since the beginning. This video blows my mind...so great!
Love you <3
Spektor channeling Fiona Apple. Beautiful!
1:17 "More! More! More! More!" 6u6
This song really drew me in.
I gess it's an amazingly beautifull description of some of the most hideous manifestations of human nature, just brilliantly done! Still one glaringly important subject is missing - I wish Regina would have included a verse about the POLITICIAN AND THE BANKER.
Loved the song
She looks like the dark kermit meme here with that coat 😂
This is one of Regina's best songs. And that's saying a lot. She's got many. I love her. I really love her.
This is amazing and I've been looking for these words forever!
Where the good are damned and the wicked forgiven. I've been trying to say these for years
More, more, more, MORE!
an anthem of our times
And
I have always loved the sound of minor chords on the piano!
Its def a strange, strange world we live in...
After i listened to this chilling song, Youtube played an ad for a pharmaceutical company. More chilling......
Holy shit, I think I might be in love with her
You have inspired me so much over the years with my own musical style and songwriting. Thank you for being you. I love you Regina. ❤️
Trump... still won.... ;-(
What a strange world we live in
When you feel shroomed watching a video... AHHH THE HALLUCINGENS!!!
Lol everyone please read the description... It's funny!
Te amo Regina, greetings from México <3
That facet of yours reminds me of Fiona Apple. . . .
This song gives me CHILLS!
Thank you, Regina. Perfect.
Brave soul, Regina. Especially because she came from Russia, which from what I hear, doesn't allow much free speech. And she's able to really speak her mind, and she's not afraid. She's exactly what I wish I could be, but never in a million years could.
A good girl screaming angry words
very deep song it goes especially today people need to hear this I'm going to have people here this
kinda reminds me of Tori Amos
This one really invokes chills, especially with what's been going on recently.
I love her!
I just got the CD today (I like having hard copies of my favorite people) and I love the directions it goes in. It feels honest and weird in a natural way, kind of like the Soviet Kitsch and Begin to Hope days. I'm relieved. The strings and other instruments all create a distinct atmosphere for each song, and it doesn't feel over-produced. I needed this.
WHAT A MUSE
This woman is phenomenal! All her songs are so unique and interesting, not only in music style, but lyrical-wise as well. I applaud you, Regina.
Thank you.
Brilliant! Really blown away
Powerful.
OMG ~ f...'ng AMAZING song & video !!! My heart is pounding...
Regina encapsulates in this song the struggle of the working person from the 1870's to today against the forces of greed.
Saw her last night in Salt Lake, this was my favorite song of the show
This song is a battle cry.
Love it. In concert it was fantastic.
This is quickly becoming my favorite song by her.
She's a god to be worshiped
This song always makes me want to take the means of production from the bourgeoisie. I mean, dance. Yeah, definitely not the other thing.
The verse seems to be pertinent to Peaky Blinders(especially at the end). It would be a nice soundtrack.
Зелёная zana nymany
Зелёная Корка
OMG I just saw her yesterday in concert!!! she was amazing!!!!
This is brilliant. It's intense and captivating. The "drama" of it is believable too, if that makes sense.
This would be a good theme for a Tim Burton Grimm's Brother adaptation (you know, if Burton felt like making a good movie again)
This is a brilliant piece of art.
just watched you on Seth Meyers 💖💖
That's what got me hooked on his song. Can't get it out of my head!
incredible Regina, your killing it ❤
incredible song, incredible artist, lazy music video...
QUE MULHERÃO DA PORRA
i guess only her can rock a music video with a bath robe :p
I'm a musician. I'm a human. I'm an amazed human. I'm an amazed musician.
When the music sounds debauched I imagine Donald Trump dancing around in fish net tights with big feather fans, doing a grotesque burlesque number
snosslehop I'm 3 months late but fucking cracking up at this comment!!!!
beautiful song, sounds inspired by Rasputina.
You are amazing!
