Friendleconomics

the problems I've crossed

with what people sell you

the higher the cost

the lower the value

so lower the price

to less than you've got

don't even think twice

at a penny a thought

then soon you will see

when you give it away

that you become free

from the price that you pay

to buy what you sell

then spend what you make

for the lower you dwell

the higher the stake

in life there's a chance

to earn what you make

by learning to give

and forgetting to take

then you will make love

and give away more

and isn't that sort of

the best thing to live for?
