Mammon

"More and more"
Is all we ask for

"The grass is always greener"
As green as my emotion

"Life goes on"
While we struggle to strive

"Love is real"
Though we'll all never know it

"Money spins the world"
Which is why we're unhappy

"The world's a stage"
And we'll never know our truths

"Sex, drugs, rock n' roll"
I'll get it when I'm dead
