Cash Money

This anger can't be downsized,
you can't layoff their pride.
you can't buy my silence
or exploit what's inside.

the almighty dollar's not almighty to me.
it's destroyed good people, is what I've seen.
I'll measure success by the people I've met,
and hold on tight to the memories I've kept.

this world won't fucking break me,
and your money can't persuade me.
I know in my heart what's right,
you can't put a price on human life.

they built your high rise and paved your roads.
they picked your food and sowed your clothes.
your net worth is what makes them poor,
they built this country, they're worth so much more.

the almighty dollar's not almighty to me.
it's destroyed good people, is what I've seen.
I'll measure success by the people I've met,
and hold on tight to the memories I've kept.

this world won't fucking break me,
and your money can't persuade me.
I know in my heart what's right,
you can't put a price on human life.

on 9-11 when the twin towers fell,
they risked their lives to save us from hell.
and no number on a paycheck
could ever measure what they mean to us.

this anger can't be downsized,
you can't layoff their pride.
you can't buy my silence
or exploit what's inside
