Slave To Money

I know it open doors, carry the weight, so many values

Still left to define

Once on the factory floor, invisible ball and chain

Will keep you to the grind

Do you believe in words like "equal rights"

The right to live a more than decent life

What is it's true, "the winner takes it all", you get

What's left, you get no less no more.

In the beginning man learnt all the tricks of trade

The race has just begun, melted the golden beast

To marks and pennies, earning them empires in the sun

Do you believe the keyword is possess and once you're

In there is no turning back

What if it's true – it spreads like a disease- from the

Royal mansion to the ghetto shack...

I am the bank of time! Display some fallen empires,

Cracks along the line

I've seen the greatest fall! I'd say the western world

Will need a new design... !

Out of the west, out of the real, you need the suit to

Cut the deal

You shave so close, you shave so clean, don't cut,

Revealing something obscene!

High profile going, high time alone, you get your

Kicks, you're on the phone

Don't get involved, no time for help, you're passionate

In love with all your "geld"

The days of progress, when they are gone, then looking

Back, days in the sun

Did you have someone you called your friend, or were

They all associates?

God may look at what we've done, knowing well we're the

Ugly ones

Some may have blisters, well on their feet, some broken

Elbows, some twisted knees

Now being used up, now being used, isn't it time we all

Pay our dues?

God may look at what we've done, knowing well we're the

Ugly ones
