How Much Is Enough

How much money is enough The footballer lamented lacing his boots up How many endorsements must it take To match the thrill of a winning goal in the arms of your teammates Do you still know the boy with scruffy boots in the park Commentating on himself juggling footballs up till dark How much money is enough The urban hero advertising cars not looking street not looking tough How much whoring can one soul stand The mirror reflects a shadow onto where the face would glance Come the flash of the light through the all seeing lense Can you look yourself in the eye sleep easy in your bed Telling all who listen when we he grew up he had it tough Money has got you where you wanted but how much is enough How much power is enough The wretched politician educated and corrupt How much principle is soldFrom rebellion on the benches to ministerial jags and rolls Fawning to corporates preparing whats to come Directorships and boats anchored in the sun
