Chef F The BeetFarma**ist - Shekel Shackles lyrics

[Hook] This is more important than life This is more important than the planet This is more important than you More important than me, this is money Money is God Money's everything you'll ever need Money is what you want [Verse 1] Everybody wants to get rich, and everybody's not Spare a conglomerate of billionaires inheriting their parents' profits Objects, heirlooms and apparently invariable nonsense Carelessly stomping upon our wallets and calling it progress The conquest could turn even the most innocent to monstrous The sophisticated to the jaded and pompous Every angel that God sends will be turned away 'cause it's impossible to spend these dollar bills at heaven's gates [Hook] It's more important than life More important than the planet More important than food More important than drink, this is money Money is God Money's everything we'll ever need Money is what we want [Verse 2] Even if it's at the cost of the planet and its inhabitants I'll ransack their oil with the grandest mechanic gadgets and Climb right to the top on the faces of those beneath me So when I say that money can't buy happiness you won't believe me It's easy being rich if you don't mind others being poor What do we need 'em for? Just let 'em bleed in the street galore I brilliantly store billions in foreign depositories Positively sure it isn't enough, believing that I'm in need of more All I want to do is keep the people divided Keeping 'em fighting over which item they buy is the shiniest So my dynasty never dies and I could live the rest of my life Spending my money while you're spending all your time for it [Verse 3] I'm working fifty hours a week About to weep because all I can f**ing think about is sleep I'm not allowed to breathe, talk or piss without my boss's permission Exhausted, receiving naught but this awful pittance of a salary At least my parents are proud that I sold my happiness And narrowed down my pa**ions for the sake of paying out taxes The Earth hurtles fervently across the galaxy's axis And here I am, practically wiping these people's a**es All for the purposes of earning cash and serving the ma**es But all these burning ga**es are causing our planet to turn into ashes And all I can do is observe pa**ively While asking please for scraps to eat as if I'm trash deserving of lashes And I remember back in school I reached the conclusion discretely we had all been fooled I demanded my teacher to tell me why we were sold a lie And he smiled at me as he told me why [Verse 4] Because money is life, money comes from the planet Money is more important than your friends and family dammit Money is heaven, money's more important than God Money is everything you'll ever be, money is what you're not Money is love, hate, lust, envy and war In fact, money's the only thing in this life worth living for Money's a gift and a privilege, so don't take it for granted Because money's the reason humanity's raping this planet
