Money, money, money,

Without it, life is a bore,

Can never get enough,

Need more, more, more.

More lavish clothes,

Expensive cars and such,

More of the land we stole,

Can never have too much.

Half a plate in my belly,

Let the rest go to waste,

Wary of the man with a sign

Careful, can’t let him get a taste.

Keeping my eyes on the prize,

Stepping over those in need,

Never wanting for a thing,

Just living the American Dream.

Surrounded by people

Suffering all the same

Always pointing fingers

Constantly placing blame

Dancing with demons

Fighting to keep sane

Maybe we are all just broken

Too numb to carry shame

We’d rather tear into each other

Than sit alone in the pain
