Money And Power

 Money And Power

 

Capitalism’s cat she’s a playboy bunny

She doesn’t dig true love it’s pure money

A wad of cash and she’s your sweet honey

She’ll laugh at all your jokes even if they ain’t funny

 

Twin demons money and power

A hungry beast seeks to devour

Now is darkness and the final hour

Bowing down to money and power

 

An ogre with orange hair he’s selling us out

He looks in the mirror that’s all he’s about

What profit a man to gain the whole world’s control

And at the very same time you lose your soul

 

Twin demons money and power

A hungry beast seeks to devour

Now is darkness and the final hour

Bowing down to money and power

 

Martin counts every penny he’s got a disease

He wants a life of leisure to do as he please

Lie after lie it’s the blind leading the blind

Generals and bankers a blight on mankind

 

Twin demons money and power

A hungry beast seeks to devour

Now is darkness and the final hour

Bowing down to money and power

 

In Red China a million soldiers march in line

In Harvard business school mammon is divine

Pay your indulgences so you can enter paradise

Give all to the poor it’s my best advice

 

The final countdown Babylon’s beginning to fall

The Masters of War snivel wanting it all

Cracks in the foundation hear the Liberty Bell

They offer you heaven only to give you hell

 

Twin demons money and power

A hungry beast seeks to devour

Now is darkness and the final hour

Bowing down to money and power

Fool’s Gold

 

Fool’s Gold

 

I sold my soul only for fool’s gold

I wasn’t supposed to have grown old

The happiness was never gonna end

And I’d always have a good friend

 

Here comes Louie to make a deal

Got a dream bro I can make it real

Just be careful what you wish for

Cause so few truly know the score

 

She fell out of a porno magazine

Forever and ever eighteen

I was king and she was queen

Do you know what I really mean

 

Here comes Louie to make a deal

Got a dream bro I can make it real

Just be careful what you wish for

Cause so few truly know the score

 

We had a mansion and we had a yacht

So many good times I forgot

Money was endless we had everything

Except a reason for living

 

Here comes Louie to make a deal

Got a dream bro I can make it real

Just be careful what you wish for

Cause so few truly know the score

 

Somewhere shifting in the shadows lives a happy man

He helps everybody and everyone whenever he can

He don’t keep score because numbers add up to zero

The king of kings why he’s the eternal hero

 

Aching faking it while on the go

Life is nothing but an endless show

But I fear the grave will bring no relief

My happiness has been stolen by a thief

 

Here comes Louie to make a deal

Got a dream bro I can make it real

Just be careful what you wish for

Cause so few truly know the score

Endless Ambition

 Endless Ambition

 FAWM  # 29 

Just in and she got up and walked out the door

Read the bulletin she ain’t working here no more

Got a job with the city looking pretty

Good pay he says but Lord ain’t it a pity

 

Endless ambition find it all around

Endless ambition dig that funky sound

We buried Joyce today God forgive her sin

She was a good woman endless ambition

 

We’re multiplying life’s an exponential function

Texas engineers building jet bombers for destruction

Here I am stuck on level three fighting a troll

Look Jack he got a big sack hope it’s full of gold

 

Endless ambition find it all around

Endless ambition dig that funky sound

We buried Joyce today God forgive her sin

She was a good woman endless ambition

 

I would have sold out but they said you’re asking for too much

The price on the bill if you will was a good woman with tender touch

Joyce is taking a tour of those mansions of glory

Heaven and hell but do you know the real story?

 

Little angels slowly losing their innocence

Sophie’s crying because life makes no sense

I want to touch their souls show them love

Cryptic Egyptian fractions I’m thinking of

 

Endless ambition find it all around

Endless ambition dig that funky sound

We buried Joyce today God forgive her sin

She was a good woman endless ambition

 

At the repass the woman elder had zero class

Reciting banal poetry oh Lord let me pass

Meanwhile with a smile zero the hero scores

It’s a simple equation of money attracts whores.

 

Endless ambition find it all around

Endless ambition dig that funky sound

We buried Joyce today God forgive her sin

She was a good woman endless ambition

Money Is Green

 Money Is Green

 FAWM # 15

It’s a game we play it only to win                          

We’re America we cannot sin                                

The world is ours for us to enjoy                           

The world is ours for us to destroy                        

 

Money is green dirty and obscene

Money is green it defines the scene

Money is green you know what I mean

Money is green no blues in between

 

The banks are Satan seeking complete control

The banks are Satan they have no soul

Come inside we’re glad to give you a loan

What’s yours is ours let it be known

 

Money is green dirty and obscene

Money is green it defines the scene

Money is green you know what I mean

Money is green no blues in between

 

Soon the Amazon will be a thing of the past

In Fukushima waters still leaking fast

Digits increasing on the video screen

Digits increasing more money green

 

Money is green dirty and obscene

Money is green it defines the scene

Money is green you know what I mean

Money is green no blues in between

 

Hear me scream hear my howl this is living hell

There’s not one human being who is doing well

Mother Earth is slowly being crucified to death

The truth can’t be denied in every polluted breath

 

I’ll write a song speak what’s on my mind

I won’t hate I strive always to be kind

This generation is deaf and blind

The next generation will be left behind

 

Money is green dirty and obscene

Money is green it defines the scene

Money is green you know what I mean

Money is green no blues in between

It’s about Money

A song lyric from Without The Music begging to be sung! 

 It’s about Money

 

You were at the wedding so I am led to believe

And you sat at the table with my good buddy Steve

In polite conversation you asked about me

You said is John the poor old dreamer is he still free

 

Well I ain’t no Mr. Young that’s for sure

But we got one Neal who could want more

See the critic smile Karen it’s so funny

But it ain’t about you it’s about money

 

Well my mind wanders remembering lost friends

So many good things I say that love never ends

Stronger than old Fort Knox is the castle of trust

But every now and then a winner will go bust

 

No I’m no longer the same the good Lord knows

Sometimes in a desert a flower grows

Steve said you looked like a playboy bunny

But it ain’t about you it’s about money

 

Rich corporations controlling art

Mister Mick please rip out your heart

That would satisfy me real real good

Rip out your heart like you said you would

We’d capture the event for all to see

And make it a special on cable t.v.

Jagger and Howdy both a true dummy

But it ain’t about you it’s about money

 

Steve told me you were married and that struck a blow

It’s been nine long years and I’ve got nothing to show

You’re the American dream that we all desire

And me I just got ashes from playing with fire

 

Somewhere some businessman hears my song

If you break all the rules you can’t go wrong

Karen with or without you the dawn’s still sunny

But it ain’t about you it’s about money

Western Union Rap

 Western Union Rap

 

By John Kaniecki

 

Tried to send money to Uganda man
Had me a righteous plan

Western Union said they could get the job done
I took to the computer I was on the run

Went to sleep guaranteed all was grace

Slept dreaming with smiles on my face

Woke up four thirty too hustle some more
A bad email hit me to the floor

Western Union said no go

They lied to me, that I know
Spent an hour of wasted time talking to Ali

Moments of agonized futility

I just wanted to know what went wrong

Was it the lyrics or the drums in the song?
They still don’t tell me any resolution

Here’s a cry don’t use Western Union
