lyrics

You can use a gun, or use your mind,
Display the truth in the land of the blind,
You can bind down his hands, but never his heart
You can trade or steal, but you can't force art

If you want to deal, you'll pay the price
Or swindle and steal, just roll the dice
No one's his master, nobody his slave
Just shut up and pay up, if you want to trade

He says, "Value for value, beats eye for an eye,
For the price of the moon, I'll sell you the sky."

Pride makes money
In the marketplace

All is fair in the marketplace

All that's produced
From the exotic to the mundane
All you desire
Whether erotic or profane
From all corners of the Earth
Nothing's forbidden here
Some things just cost a little more

He says, "Utopia's for sale, and can't you see why?
You don't need to save the old world, just let it wither and die."

Ideas reproduce
In the marketplace
Pride makes money
In the marketplace

Revolutions begin
In the marketplace
