Money
Money
Money makes you round eyed,
Or square eyed,
Money makes you open arms
And legs wide,
Money makes you feel dirty
Inside,
Money makes your scruples run and hide,
Money gives you lots of false pride,
Money makes you take friends
For a ride.
Money makes you blind
So you can’t see
Injustice and cruelty.
Money makes you treat people
Like toys
Money makes you act like naughty boys.
Money makes landlords
Demand high rents
So families end up in tents.
Money makes you hate
What you’ve become
Money strips life of
All fun.
Till you wish your course
Was run
Money is the bullets
In the gun
At your head
Spend, Spend
Now you’re dead.
Hope £ less
Soul £ less
Life £ less
What a £… ing mess!

This is a really strong piece with a powerful message, I particularly enjoy it when read out loud. Perhaps we could get one of your recordings of it on here.
