25 cents for a riff

They thought you'd come with a bang

New age to end all their fears

Lightnings would Flash, steel would clang

It was a gift, not a joke

Mercy is dead - what a shame

Culture has gone up in smoke

A life and a riff worth the same...

Hope I'm not being unwise

But your price isn't too high

I must admit I despise

Stuck in this place for ages

How to move on - you don't know

The battle in you still rages

Just find a moment to spare

The crowd will show you the game

Black bargain's on fair and square

A life and a riff worth the same...

Time to make shit more precise

Your pedigree is enough

To raise the minimum price

Souls goin' cheap, who's to blame?

Business don't make any sense

A life and a riff worth the same

Bidding is through, ain't no jive

Hammer comes down with a biff

25 cents for a life and 25 cents for a riff

Bidding is through, ain't no jive

Hammer comes down with a biff

25 cents for a life and 25 cents for a riff

And 25 cents for a riff

And 25 cents for a riff
