What's Your Price

Are the hearts of men naturally deceitful & inherently evil?
Are we being daily programmed to put profits over people?
Socially conditioned to run this maze looking for a big piece of cheese
In this rat race of life where it appears to be money over everything
Allowing our self worth to be determined by these paper degrees
Coveting the lifestyle of the rich and famous like these celebrities
Does everyone have a price tag on their dignity and their soul?
Just awaiting the highest bid and the auctioneer to say sold
Chasing after big checks instead of valuing their self respect
Seeing Jerry Rice in that chicken helmet got me wondering who's next
Will people do anything just for another hit of that addictive drug money
Like fiends in pursuit of the green doing demeaning things trying to be funny
