about

Ninth track on the Manifest album "Still Relevant"

lyrics

Money keeps a man in power, and makes evil of good people
And a man with no emotion is the biggest evil of all
Greed, insatiable greed, it’s not the root, it’s the seed
They sow their seeds on all your hopes and dreams

The moustache and monocle chill my spine, more than a criminal every time
The pen and the check is his weapon, and his signatures his sign
People want to be him and to emulate his plans
While the carrot dangles further from your tired blistered hands

We lost our way, we’re getting screwed, and we’re watching fellows fall
That we enabled our recession the biggest crime of all

Leaving our money in the system makes them more and more and more
While people waste their days in hope, for that one massive windfall
With our essentials getting scarcer and our luxuries extinct
We could take the power back if we’d only stopped to think

Find every card you own every bank account you can
Go from Black to Red to through overdraft, for each and every man
Hang on to everything you’ve got, don’t let them have the chance
To wallow in the muck of avarice
