lyrics

[Lorraine Hansberry]
I happen to think that a life that has as its end
something of service and purpose – really doesn’t matter whether you’re making shoes or writing books or plays but has some end product – is a far more substantial life than someone who has gotten led into the way of thinking that tells him that money is the reason why we live.

[Mr Gee]
You got me killing for you, you got me dying for you, telling me a whole heap of lies wishing them to be true. Lost and heartbroken in a make-believe land, living off hope with no clue & no plan, and no funds and no cash and no drum and no pad, and no friends in high places who can bail-out my crash. Even my last straw has a price attached.

[LH] I for one can’t get terribly excited about anyone who wants to commit their lives to just making money as an end in itself. I can’t understand it. I think all values ultimately come out of a materialistic approach to life that there’s no such thing as simply saying to people ‘now be nice’; but you can’t be nice if you’re living miserably.

[MG] Damn that credit score’s gonna break my back, gonna break my bones, the dry valley knows: nobody ever passes go without a fistful of lack, without a fistful of guilt? Without a fistful of need? There’s ivory towers on the hill and ebony graves in the street. Colston knows what I mean; statue thrown in the stream with a bottom-line splash of a cash driven man.

They praise those that hate me. And seek to enslave me, now everybody money crazy in this make-believe land.

[LH] We really don’t have very much in the world at all if we allow any aspect of money values to transcend the requirements that are necessary for human dignity.
