Money Man

from The Volume in the Ground by Adeem

/

lyrics

Moneyman want my house to fall/
When man made of money, make him cry make him crawl around/
Shake him down to his rotten core/
Too old to see that change too young to see this war/
Moneyman always finds the poor/
Cut a hole in your pocket and he still wants more

This floor ain't that strong, this wood's gotta burn/
So help me if I'm wrong I’m ready to learn/
Currently currency got me stuck/
I’d sell my soul, but it ain't worth much/
Ain't worth the price on my head ain't worth the shells or the guilt/
So I tell the moneyman I’m done with his pills/
We can’t afford to be sick/
These choices that we make/
Got me thinking I should steal the pearls from the gates/
What’s it worth Moneyman? Ain't got nothing to trade/
How do I start making that minimum wage?/
These days I don’t even have attention to pay/
I know it’s more than death that belongs in these graves/
Moneyman you sing songs of tax and burden/
Don’t make sense if it’s not about hurting/
The politics and greed still got mouths to feed,
While leaders, they get rich off the work that we need


Moneyman want my house to fall/
When man made of money, make him cry make him crawl around/
Shake him down to his rotten core/
Too old to see that change too young to see this war/
Moneyman always finds the poor/
Cut a hole in your pocket and he still wants more


Gotta pay it back, pay it forward, pay the church/
You gotta pay to eat, you gotta pay to sleep easy/
While the rest they suffer and hunger/
Cause it’s the only thing that will ever truly be free

Shovel is my ticket, Lord Lord Lord, this dirt is my job/
One day you’ll feel the earth and I’ll be there to keep you gone/
I’ll be there to keep you gone, there to keep you gone
