Freedom.Fun.Wallets.War.
Another day, another dollar
But as time flies by
The world gets smaller
You can fold your bills
And count your cash
But the time you've spent
You can't buy back
I've got equity in memory
my debts are fully paid
I think it's time to undermine
All the rules they made
I "can't pay bills with adventure and thrills"
I may not sit rich
But I stand fulfilled
Your Legs grow weak
While your tires roll
Your mouth may eat
But you starve your soul
Five days of work
Two days free
Two hundred and fifty days per year
A slave to the economy.
Gotta eat to live
Gotta work to eat
Work, buy, consume, die
Rinse and then Repeat
The cycle needs broken
And system needs fixed
The corrupt world leaders
All need 86'd
I don't know how to do it,
I just know how to live
But I know I can't take it
So i guess I'll try to give.
Fix it when I break it
Make it when I need it
First I'll try to grow it
Then I get to eat it.
Plant the seeds
Not just for trees
But for intelligence
And philosophy.
The greatest human feats
Were once merely thoughts
So think about the world we have
Now make it what we want.
