Pennies and Change Lyrics
Sold to the highest bidder
So he owns you now, will he allow?
I'm told he's a mortal sinner
Will he prevail? Are you for sale?
Exposed with a sense of vigor
Are you lonely now? Did he tell you how?
But lose that lovely figure
Is he coming home? Is he out alone?
The price of life and fate is going down, down
To pennies and change, sold again
There's nothing like the high life and those people
Who laugh at your jokes, not you alone
Control needs to acquire
All that contraband is that blood on your hands
Shadow needs to aspire
To that cattle brand, they're so underhand
The price of life and fate is going down, down
To pennies and change, sold again
There's nothing like the high life and those people
Who laugh at your jokes, not you alone
No love, love not for sale
And it moves him to tears
No love, love not for sale
And he chooses to fail
The price of life and fate is going down, down
To pennies and change, sold again
There's nothing like the high life and those people
Who laugh at your jokes, not you alone
So he owns you now, will he allow?
I'm told he's a mortal sinner
Will he prevail? Are you for sale?
Are you lonely now? Did he tell you how?
But lose that lovely figure
Is he coming home? Is he out alone?
To pennies and change, sold again
There's nothing like the high life and those people
Who laugh at your jokes, not you alone
All that contraband is that blood on your hands
Shadow needs to aspire
To that cattle brand, they're so underhand
To pennies and change, sold again
There's nothing like the high life and those people
Who laugh at your jokes, not you alone
And it moves him to tears
No love, love not for sale
And he chooses to fail
To pennies and change, sold again
There's nothing like the high life and those people
Who laugh at your jokes, not you alone

Not quite sure if these are the official lyrics, but they are the same ones I've been seeing in many places. The line "The price of life and fate is going down, down" in particular doesn't quite seem to me like what is said in the song, though it is hard to tell for sure.
