Penny, Pound, Divide

Standard

Living in a world where money is everything,
And being poor is a sin,
Where numbers determine your fate,
And your future is based on interest rates,
We spend our entire lives working for the green,
And yet a happy and content life is rarely seen,
And the scary thing is that the people in charge telling us to slave our life’s away,
Buy their 4th house as we sit there and worry if we will eat that day,
We as humans are all equal but money divides us all,
And if money ain’t your life’s ambition then you are considered a fool,
I understand the theory behind money even if the reality is shit,
I just don’t understand why it’s became so important that we would kill and even die for it,
It’s dividing us a species, turning us into paranoid murder machines,
And I don’t know what the solution is, but I do know we need love instead of the colour green.
