Money Made You Be
Take your money and bury it down
Deep and down in a coffin-shaped hole
Deep and down so no one will see
The greedy and ignorant beast
That money made you be
Try and stand up
When your legs are half gone
Try and run now
To that coffin-shaped hole
Deep and down in that sea of greedy mud
Where your money will surely be there
The time has come
For you to be buried
Deep down in that coffin-shaped hole
Where your money rests scattered
Amongst a sea of dirty old mud
Cold faced you face your own grave
On the hilltop of a neatly mowed lawn
Where is that money now?
Which you thought would save you from thou
The bells are rung and the candle is lighted
One single candle which rests upon your altar
The one your son made with not a single regret
For to him you were a man who was never his father,
A mere stranger who was always gone
Gone burying his money in a coffin-shaped hole
A stranger deep down, in a sea of greedy mud.
