lyrics

Nothing makes me miserable like money
It’s the source of all my worries in some way
The hand that’s first to greet you
Might be the first to cheat you
And it’s hard to find a hand
When you’ve got debts to pay

There is something is poisonous about money
And there is nothing quite as inhumane as greed
It gives power to imposters
and turns good people into monsters
It gets dangled over heads of those with mouths to feed

We beg for work so we can waste all our days
Trying to earn enough for someone else to take away
The lure is sweet but the net is wide
And most of us are caught inside
With no chance to get away

Nothing that you earn can increase your worth

The best things are more valuable than money
But without it, it can be so hard to breath
