I've seen this on a movie,
A shade or two in real life;
Both ended up very sadly,
None was worth the while.

Money's so good no doubt,
But to what effect is money;
If the lover you made it for,
Ends up never loving you?

In it lies the root of all evil,
This kind will steal my joy;
Fly faraway with my peace,
These things I value most.

What shall it profit a man,
To gain this whole world;
Then lost his soul forever,
For money that fleets away.
