Song Lyrics

"Fear The Auctioneer"

by Guardian
Album: Bottle Rocket

Yeah, real action, (gimme one)
And a real who's who, (gimme two)
Real envy, (gimme three)
Bid and see, (gimme four)
Do I hear more'
D-do I hear more'
D-do I hear more'
D-do I hear more'

I inspect, (gimme five)
I acquire, (gimme nine)
I monogram... (gimme ten)
Therefore I am,
Do I hear more'
D-do I hear more'
D-do I hear more'
D-do I hear more'

Power shopping,
Power to the gavel,
Soon your purchase power will unravel.

Fear the auctioneer,
Fear the auctioneer.

Do I hear more'
D-do I hear more'
D-do I hear more'
D-do I hear more'

Caught red-handed (gimme nine)
In the act (gimme ten)
Gavel's dropping (anyone')
Can't be trapped,
Sold to the man,
Sold to the man,
Sold to the man,
Sold to the man.

Shopper beware (gimme one)
Before you buy (gimme two)
Check your motive (gimme four)
Lust is in the eye.
Do I hear more'
D-do I hear more'
D-do I hear more'
D-do I hear more'

Drop the pretence,
Put down the cheque-book,
Buddy, you just got hit with the "sold" look,

Fear the auctioneer,
Fear the auctioneer.

No telling how far you'll go,
Fear the auctioneer.

Do I hear more'
D-do I hear more'
D-do I hear more'
D-do I hear more'
