Moneywise

from Mona Lisa by luke hurley

/

lyrics

Money wise you're looking by
Socially - it really hurts
The vision bound to come
Waging war over pay-dirt

Had enough expansion
Concrete flow to past
Things got over complex
Reality half-mast

I love to live

I'd love to live
Yes I would
Not just exist
In this grey land

Had enough expansion
Concrete flow to past
O so dowdy
Living in the past

Process all this speed
Have to buy things we don't need
And they hype it up
In the sweatshops

Had enough expansion
It don't suit me
I'd rather go without
And set - the slaves free
In the foreign country

We don't need no warehouse
We don't need more plastic
We don't need better toys

That only break
Make no mistake
And people
Matter more
Than trinkets

Had enough expansion
Concrete flow to past
Things got over complex
Reality
At half-mast

We don't need a TV
To tell us what's right
We don't need to read the news
Day and night

I look to live
I look to live
I look to live

Not just exist
Like a pawn in a strange game
That I don't understand

Had enough expansion
Concrete flow to past
Things got over complex

That things so cheap
But the price is so high
People have to work to exhaustion
People have to die
So that we
Can get it cheap

Moneywise is looking bad
