Lyrics by Suzanne Collins! When I read this part in the book, I could hear the song so clearly in my head, here it is.
Instrumentation: vocals, guitar (technically a 12-string, but 3 of the strings broke lol), fiddle, mandolin and double bass via MIDI. I wanted the song to be bluesy and have that folk standard feeling to it.
I've been meaning to do this since I read the book last year but it slipped my mind until the trailer came out last week. 😅 The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is the first book I stayed up all night reading since I left high school. I did drafts for the other songs in the book too but this is the one that came to me almost fully realised even though my interpretation is VERY different from the description in the book. (Also I only realised parts of the melody sound like the Spider-Man theme song after I did the fiddle solo end me 💀) Looking forward to hearing it in the film!

~ Lyrics ~
You come home late,
Fall on your cot.
You smell like something that money bought.
We don't have cash, or so you say.
So where did you get it and how'd you pay?
The sun don't rise and set for you.
You think so, but you're wrong.
You tell me lies, I can't stay true-
I'll sell you for a song.
You get up late,
Won't say a word.
You been with her, that's what I've heard.
I don't own you, so I've been told.
But what do I do when the nights get cold?
The moon don't wax and wane for you.
You think so, but you're wrong.
You cause me pain, you make me blue-
I'll sell you for a song.
You're here, you're not.
It's more than me,
It's more than you, it's more like we.
They're young and soft, they worry so.
You coming or going, they need to know.
The stars don't shine and shoot for you.
You think so, but you're wrong.
You mess with mine, I'll hurt you, too-
I'll sell you for a song.
