Souls for Sale
Souls for Sale is a 1923 American silent comedy-drama romance film written, directed, and produced by Rupert Hughes. Based on the novel of the same name also by Rupert Hughes, the film stars Eleanor Boardman in her first leading role, having won a contract with Goldwyn Pictures through their highly publicized "New Faces of 1921" contest just two years prior.
The film is notable for its insights into the early film industry. Among the significant cameos in the film are appearances by directors King Vidor, Fred Niblo, Marshall Neilan, Charlie Chaplin, and Erich von Stroheim, as well as a number of actors, producers, and other filmmakers. Souls for Sale includes rare behind-the-scenes footage of Chaplin and von Stroheim directing the films A Woman of Paris and Greed, respectively.
Souls for Sale was previously thought to have been lost until incomplete prints of the film were discovered. The film was later restored and aired on Turner Classic Movies and was released on DVD in June 2009.

Souls For Sale
by: Mad CaddiesThere's something different in the world today
Looking for the words but I can't explain
I feel the worst is drawing near, feeding on our fear
Another cry from a broken home
Another soul that will walk alone
I said just one more life that will be swept away
And this is the price we pay
[Chorus:]
From the hills of California to the streets of Berlin
To the clubs in London town
Tell me where have our souls have gone
And where can they be found
All the way to Venezuela down to Sao Paulo
Then back up to Montreal
Tell me where have our souls gone
And where they can be found... Ey!
Picked up the paper and I read this morning
Another twenty people dead no warning
Bombs go off and ignite the hate globally
It perpetuates the air is thick and the skies are burning
As the war machine keeps on turning
Just one more life that will be swept away
And this is the price we pay
[Chorus]
(Waoooh)
(Ooooh, Ooohoooh)
We drop a rhythm so we feel alright
Open our minds so we let in the light
I wanna feel love I wanna feel love I want to feel it tonight
We keep it moving so we don't get lost
Release the pressure so our our hearts don't pop
Keep looking forward to a brand new day
Where we don't have to say
[Chorus]
(Won't you tell me, won't you tell me this time
