(Van Morrison)
Sold me out for a few shekels and divided up my robes
They sold me out
It's the oldest story that's ever been told
They sold me out
Didn't even give it no shred of doubt, no, no
They sold me out
Didn't even sit down and try to figure it out
They just sold me out
For the few shekels more, they didn't even think twice
For a few shekels more, another minute in the spotlight
My own people did it to me just 'cos they could
They sold me out
So beware brother it could happen to you
They sold me out
For the few shekels more, they didn't even think twice
Just for a few shekels more, another minute of two in the spotlight
My own people did it to me just 'cos they could
They sold me out
Got to beware brother it just might happen to you
They sold me out
Sold me out for a few shekels and they divided up my robes
They sold me out
It's the oldest story that's ever been told
They sold me out
Sold me out for a few shekels and divided out my robes
They sold me out
It's the oldest story that's ever been known
They sold me out
They sold me out
They sold me out

Sir George Ivan Morrison, noto come Van Morrison, è un cantautore, polistrumentista e paroliere nordirlandese nato a Belfast nel 1945. Considerato uno dei più influenti artisti della musica popolare del XX secolo, Morrison ha attraversato diversi generi musicali, dal folk rock al jazz, passando per il blues e la soul. La sua carriera, iniziata negli anni '60 con i Them, lo ha visto raggiungere fama internazionale con album come "Astral Weeks" (1968), considerato un capolavoro del genere psichedelico, e "Moondance" (1970), che lo consacrò come uno dei cantautori più amati al mondo. Morrison è noto per la sua voce potente e distintiva, le sue melodie memorabili e i testi poetici spesso ispirati alla vita quotidiana, all'amore e alla spiritualità. Tra i suoi brani più celebri figurano "Brown Eyed Girl", "Gloria", "Domino" e "Into the Mystic". Ha vinto numerosi premi, tra cui un Grammy Award nel 1974 per il suo album "Hard Nose the Highway", e nel 2016 è stato nominato Cavaliere dell'Ordine dell'Impero Britannico.
