The 4th song in their 2012 EP ‘Tripolar’, Pennies and Change talks of the perceived valuelessness of human life, and how it can be purchased and sold for variying prices, much like a stock or commodity.
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
