I have a question for the aristocrats of the present
Tell me, what is it like to look down at us peasants?
To never have to worry about how much you make
Or at the end of the year how much the government will take?
How does it feel to never think about what you spend
Or shamefully ask for money from a friend?
How does it feel to never have a low balance text
Then to keep yourself up with worry and regret?
What's it like to never see a negative sign
Then to stress whether or not you can pay the fine?
What is it like to only buy organic veggies and fruits
And to shop for lavish dresses and fancy new suits?
Have you ever known the pain of overdue rent
And the threat of eviction from the letter that was sent?
Or what about minimum wage, do you know what it's like
To still be poverty with two jobs that won't suffice?
Have you ever had to buy generic instead of the name
Even though we all know it's not one in the same?
How can you say money can't make you smile
When it completely decides our lifestyle?
Money decides a life of pain or ease
To drown in your stress or carry away on the breeze
Appreciate what you have, but don't you dare say
That money isn't everything, because it controls us in every way
