Monkey money

Hold it down, hold it down, hold your money's in control, let's go Monkey money's the beast we fight, tearing lives apart, day and night In our pockets, in our minds, it's got us blind, leaving us behind Hold it down, hold it down, hold your money's in control, let's go Listen, the roots of greed sprout like weeds in a soil of desperation Money fuels wars, corporations run the nations It pits brother against brother, man fighting for scraps Yeah, the rich smother, it builds prisons instead of schools Educates the few, keeps masses as fools It's the knife behind corruption's smile Slipping bribes, stacking lies in a neat little pile It breeds hate where love should grow Keeps the truth buried, it's all for show It sells your soul for a shiny thing Then watches you lose everything Ain't no silence, we speak out loud Monkey money's the puppet, and we're not proud When the weight's heavy, we lift it high We break the chains, no more lies Monkey money buys your peace, then steals your soul Monkey money builds the walls, takes full control Monkey money fuels the fire, burning hearts cold Greed's bitter, honey, monkey money Monkey money, it breaks your soul Monkey money, it takes its toll Monkey money, it's a vicious game Monkey money, we're not the same From the streets to the boardrooms, we all pay a price In the game of life, they throw the dice When you fall, they stand above While you're chasing dreams, they steal your love No need for truth, they've sold the lies Watch them sit back as the world dies In the face of power, we stand alone But we rise together, no matter how far we've flown Ain't no silence, we speak out loud Monkey money's the puppet, and we're not proud When the weight's heavy, we lift it high We break the chains, no more lies Monkey money buys your peace, then steals your soul Monkey money builds the walls, takes full control Monkey money fuels the fire, burning hearts cold Greed's bitter, honey, monkey money Monkey money, it breaks your soul Monkey money, it takes its toll Monkey money, it's a vicious game Monkey money, we're not the same From the streets to the boardrooms, we all pay a price In the game of life, they throw the dice When you fall, they stand above While you're chasing dreams, they steal your love No need for truth, they've sold the lies Watch them sit back as the world dies In the face of power, we stand alone But we rise together, no matter how far we've flown Ain't no silence, we speak out loud Monkey money's the puppet, and we're not proud When the weight's heavy, we lift it high We break the chains, no more lies Monkey money buys your peace, then steals your soul Monkey money builds the walls, takes full control Monkey money fuels the fire, burning hearts cold Greed's bitter, honey, monkey money Monkey money, it breaks your soul Monkey money, it takes its toll Monkey money, it's a vicious game Monkey money, we're not the same Through the fire, we stay unshaken No matter the odds, we never break in We hold the torch, light up the dark Unity's power, we're leaving a mark Monkey money's evil, put it down Through the fire, we stay unshaken No matter the odds, we never break in We hold the torch, light up the dark Unity's power, we're leaving a mark No matter where we go, or how far we roam We know where the heart is, it's in the home Through the struggle, the tears and the blood One in the same, but you're free One in the same, from the chains of greed One in the same, no more lies One in the same, watch the empire die Monkey money's in control, let's go Let's go Let's go Monkey money's in control, let's go Monkey money's in control, let's go Monkey money's in control, let's go Monkey money's in control, let's go
