anti-money piece (ideologically sensitive suggested not to read)
the value of Money is relative,
  (relatively speaking)
      giving power and prestige
        to a prestigeless nation
  (filled with Cash cow cheese eaters)
  (business-men drunk wife beaters)
  (game players
      and cheaters)
and, to me, at least, it seems so cheap
but my idols are now sheep
  (and slaves) in this country.
        Slaves, for what?

ask not, "what?" but "why?" do you do for your country.

  why do you pledge alligence?
  why do you give them power?
  why do you make their Money?
because they are so cunning
  (and they are so witty)
      they'll kill your family
        (then demand your pity)
      they'll take your culture
        (and they'll take your life)
  like an emotionless Vulture
  got a hold of a knife.

"if Money is worthless then so are you"
it is not true.
(they've) taught you this
but you never knew.
  now you do.

  eliminating need for interaction
  eliminates protest
  eliminates people like me.

if your mind is free they detest
  (if your hair is grey and your breasts sag
      they say "dye" and "lift".)
die and left, the left and right
(and) all the little wars we fight-
  they don't matter with no morality left.

give me equality
  I'll give you my tv.
      (dvd, cd, phone, plane, car)

        [My Days will be Sunny
        but have fun with your Money]
