Highest Bidder
An earring found an heir loom bound in sentimental value
Is priceless to the broken man evicted from the only home he's known
But he'll trade it in a heartbeat to return
Going once, going twice
Sold by the lonely figure, teary eyed and clinging to the
Final lasting memory of her
Sold to the highest bidder
A hundred years a landlord's cheers sing joy to end the day
But disrepair turns to despair when no drunk can drink enough to pay
And pour the local hearts a last round on the house
Going once, going twice
Sold to the pin-striped suited, slick back hair and shiny booted
Giant in the middle of the room
Sold to the highest bidder
A demon rises 10,000 cries, a nation's fleeing West
As fear advances freedom chances, raging horses 10 to 1 at best
A mother plays casino with her nest
Going once, going twice
Life savings handed to the pirates in Armani sandals
Desperation pays the last resort
Sold to the highest bidder
Nature's lungs and all creatures homes, sanctuary, bliss
But NGO's chained to bulldozers only raised the asking price a touch
And a green gigafactory will grow
Going once, going twice
Endorsed by ecologists, corrupted by the OEM
And silent as the trees begin to fall
Sold to the highest bidder
The freedom of a country sworn to children born and raised
But kings and lords who forge awards are
Partial to arrange away your needs
And sign away their honorary deeds
Going once, going twice
Sold by the disgraced monarch, spotted sweating cowardly
Behind their finely decorated sleeve
Sold to the highest bidder
And the Moon comes round, the Earth goes round
The Sun goes down, the dark side of the Moon
Comes round, the Earth goes round
The Sun goes down, the dark side of the Moon
Comes round, the Earth goes round
The Sun goes down, the dark side of the Moon
Comes round, the Earth goes round
The Sun goes down, the dark side of the Moon
And the highest bidder always wins
And the highest bidder always wins
And the highest bidder always wins
And the highest bidder always wins
An empire's guild entirely built on greed and guilty pleasure
New seeds are planted, wishes granted
Blushes carefully airbrushed out to suit
And the highest bidder's history lives on
Going once, going twice
Sold by all humankind and Mother Nature's losing
Kind of hard to find the antidote
Distilling every sweet so bitter
Is priceless to the broken man evicted from the only home he's known
But he'll trade it in a heartbeat to return
Going once, going twice
Sold by the lonely figure, teary eyed and clinging to the
Final lasting memory of her
Sold to the highest bidder
A hundred years a landlord's cheers sing joy to end the day
But disrepair turns to despair when no drunk can drink enough to pay
And pour the local hearts a last round on the house
Going once, going twice
Sold to the pin-striped suited, slick back hair and shiny booted
Giant in the middle of the room
Sold to the highest bidder
A demon rises 10,000 cries, a nation's fleeing West
As fear advances freedom chances, raging horses 10 to 1 at best
A mother plays casino with her nest
Going once, going twice
Life savings handed to the pirates in Armani sandals
Desperation pays the last resort

But NGO's chained to bulldozers only raised the asking price a touch

And the Moon comes round, the Earth goes round

Comes round, the Earth goes round
The Sun goes down, the dark side of the Moon
Comes round, the Earth goes round
The Sun goes down, the dark side of the Moon
Comes round, the Earth goes round
The Sun goes down, the dark side of the Moon
And the highest bidder always wins
And the highest bidder always wins
And the highest bidder always wins
And the highest bidder always wins

Going once, going twice
Sold by all humankind and Mother Nature's losing
Kind of hard to find the antidote
Distilling every sweet so bitter
