Let's Talk About Money
Let's talk about money, honey
That sour flower, that power to devour
The corrupt disruption of consumption
Let's face the disgrace of that gilded tower
Let's concede when greed exceeds need
That green paper's vapor, that seductive speed
The addict's cruel fall into possession depression
The coin rules all, as the greater dictator
For this unjust trust, thank the banks
Who cajole your soul, in exchange for coal.
