$ your value my value
I see no fame In fortune
Money a torture
Deprive and dictate
Ones worth in a handshake
Evil conception being corrupt interception
The rapture of being
With the things you own
Doesn't tickle my feathers
It's not in the material I've sewn
Bitter distaste
For ones strength is misplaced
With $ollars spent in haste
Fortune drives a fancy car
Mine not so expensive
But I'm stoked because
My windows are electric
And I can drive the same places as you
My shitty old care keeps the speed limits pace to
just like you
Bathe in your marble
Cook in your stainless steel
And then hire me to clean it
For your perception is un real
For you hold so dear every dollar you've spent
On things ridiculous
Some can't pay their rent
Luxury is a driving force
Poverty and famish are dying in our streets
But the fortune gets bigger
And the poor still don't eat
Funny the poor
Simple people at that
Would give you the shirt
Straight off their back
But when they sit unwashed
Loitering on your street
With their coffee tin shaking
One dollars all they need
You walk by and pretend you don't see
Newspapers shelter
Dive for cover from the rain
But the big pigs get fatter
And make the poor feel ashamed
Greed is entirely to blame
Were all gonna die the same
I don't care what your worth
Makes no difference to me
Just wish that you'd open your eyes and see
Your wealth is fine
It's your luck on earth
But look and see the unfortunates worth
Like you they feel pain
Hunger and despair
All it takes is a few dollars
And to show that you care
Freedom in life is not much to ask
A helping hand now and then
An important task
Homeless are getting hungrier
Colder and bad health
So get off your ass
And spread some of your fat wealth
A jacket
A jumper
You don't need to change the world
A coffee
A sanga
It's the small things that matter
That make the ball roll
And the dollars start coming
Remember we're all one in the same
Some more fortunate
Others less this way
A dollar from your piggy bank
Won't make a difference to you
But think someone else
Other than you
Money a torture
Deprive and dictate
Ones worth in a handshake
Evil conception being corrupt interception
The rapture of being
With the things you own
Doesn't tickle my feathers
It's not in the material I've sewn
Bitter distaste
For ones strength is misplaced
