"Shift" by Pippa Rich
Excuse me for this interruption
But where there's money there's corruption
Not just in Governments you see
It's all around here with you and me
I found a business to buy into
Make me money is what they said they'd do
Doubts sky high all they way
What they sell well I can't say
A ladder to climb
With so little dime
A waste of time
You'll be fine
What exactly do they know
That makes them put on such a show
It's not metaphysical or even alive
Yet they go out and they thrive
Minds taken over by a dollar and cent
Striving to own what most relent
Lives been crushed along the road
Sit there happily in their abode
Beyond jealousy and beyond rage
I feel like a rat in a cage
Scrambling clawing at the crumbs
Thrown my way as I twiddle my thumbs
Hoping for a financial miracle
I'll forget my own empirical
Never wanting to show my story
Never thinking I'll deserve any glory
An education was what I began
So early so young so far I ran
But how on earth am I supposed to succeed
All I know is that I sure can breed
I'm spiteful of circumstances thrown at me
I'd love to find out how happy I could be
I do have love inside of me
I share it with my family
But money has never been a big part of my life
The lack of it has kept me in strife
Work harder and longer and more constantly
On what and how is what I don't see
