I found a place to sell my name Along the markets promenade High prices going down I robbed a store to wear my shoes It hurt my pride to bear these blues High prices going down Oh the rice is burning brown And high prices going down I woke up in my baby's arms To the sound of fire alarms High prices going down I read the news And I heard it said There's 200 already dead High prices going down Oh the King gave up his crown And high prices are going down My mind's a buzz A swarm of bees And I did just as I please High prices going down There's no way out The car's been crashed And look around The prices slashed High prices going down A dollars worth is half a pound And high prices going down
