Call to Arms


Money is power

Money is everything

It brings pleasure, happiness

But most of all it brings things

Things upon things upon things

 

Money buys happiness

Money buys fame

It builds a better life

But most of all it destroys

Lives upon lives upon lives

 

Is this how life should be?

Dictated by money

Dictated by greed

Happiness judged by wealth

 

The world deserves to be happy

It deserves to celebrate

But money rules everything

With an iron fist

Forged in the fires of the worst dictators

 

The world needs to be happy

It needs to celebrate

So let’s stage a coup

And oust the dictator

And forge a world in happiness
