Money Man

It’s all acquiring as many things as you can
And the more you get the less of a man
You become to all who stay around you
People are just dollars to you anymore

You think money – equals importance
You think money – measures success
You think money – validates your calloused conscience
Your money doesn’t mean a thing to me

What’s it like to never relax
What’s it like to fear an attack
By your ‘friends’ who think that you lack the new thing
That will make your life complete

All the people you’ve stepped upon
To look out across your big green lawn
To see your shiny new black car
You hear their screams
They’re not very far away
