Anti-materialism

Lyrics

Tell me, what do you know
What did you learn on millionaire's row
What did you hear there, and what did you see
What makes 'em different from you and from me?

Well they're smarter than we are, I know that's for sure
They know how to profit when we go to war
And they've got a friend in every high place
Campaign contributions will keep it that way

The homes are all mansions, the cars all brand new
The lawns manicured, and they've all got a pool
Some have courts for tennis, others forty foot boats
And some are like castles with electronic moats

And the ways of the market are well known to them
What's risky for us is their sure win-win
Inside information they keep to themselves
Mean streets of gold and they lead straight to hell

So if you're worried 'bout money, well don't be, my friend
Our checkbooks will all balance out in the end
And the more that you have, the more you'll have to lose
So be glad you ain't walkin' in no rich man's shoes
