Evil... Or is it?


They say money is the root of all evil

But I gotta go to college.

 

So does that mean I'm evil,

because I'm pursuing knowledge?

 

Does that make Harvard more evil than ASU?

Ivy Leagues don't inspire me to act as villains do.

 

What's evil to me is that I work twice as hard

And my dropout parents make half of what yours do.

You take for granted what I view as my way to a better life,

So if it's money that it takes,

I'll be evil too.
