Get My Price

As I wander through this country like a fool in a trance Watching cruel men grow fearless and their fortunes advance As their hatred and oppression spreads like oil across the land I see no one there to stop them, no one to spoil their plans I was always raised to love that which is right and is true But these hypocrites are wrapped in flags, sitting in the pews Tell me, when will their consequences finally accrue? Their divine intervention's overdue Gonna sell my soul at auction, gonna polish it nice Make a fictitious history from plausible lies Do I hear any offers? Going once, going twice Going down when I finally get my price, get my price, get my price You ask me, what does it benefit a man should he gain All the things he can imagine, if no soul in him remains? But it's the absence of a conscience that I'm hoping to attain Till the day when all their work goes up in flames Gonna sell my soul at auction, gonna polish it nice Make a fictitious history from plausible lies Do I hear any offers? Going once, going twice Going down when I finally get my price, get my price, get my price And in the end, when it finally comes should I then regret Having squandered my birthright for a desperate bet? Should I fear the judgment coming when I fail in my quest? I've been looking for those scales of justice, but I ain't seen them yet Gonna sell my soul at auction, gonna polish it nice Make a fictitious history from plausible lies Do I hear any offers? Going once, going twice Going down when I finally get my price, get my price, get my price
