Teasing the populace <br />A few in the acropolis lean back and forth <br />To a new opulent apocalypse <br />Profit margins monstrous <br />Changes lives to hieroglyphs <br />And knowledge sits in a store <br />At half price in obelisks <br />When you buy a novelist a silver spoon or a fork <br /> <br />-If it used to be familiar but now looks so strange <br /> It’s just a side effect of money and some change <br /> <br />Money is a gossip kit <br />Its essence has a presence that screams <br />With glee while remaining ominous <br />Keeps the poor anonymous <br />Makes and breaks the politics <br />In any scene you can dream <br />It’s waiting on new hostages <br />Colored pink, purple, mellow yellow, blue or green <br /> <br /> -If it used to be familiar but now looks so strange <br /> It’s just a side effect of money and some change <br /> <br />Money finds new relatives <br />Money boosts the memory <br />Money heightens sensory <br />Money is a sedative <br />Money makes good company <br />Money lives so comfortably <br />Never gives and never needs any kind of reason <br />Never free but always free in and out of every season<br /><br />P.R.
