We work as if to vanquish sin, delight In pay day, reign the ego boosting bills The hours nine to five grow tired and gripe, Our sense of worth built firm in green and thrills A victory deserves a toast, so raise Your glass and cheer! But don't you dare talk ill Of men who seek the outside bench, no place To sleep, ignored by wealthy launderers who'll Deny the beggar hundred cents yet blow One hundred bucks to keep their hair due kempt If love were space then that's how far I'd go Myself, to mourn the late compassion's sense It's true: they may be rich upon retire But who will hold them when their time expires?

you can make all the money in the world, but it doesn't mean anything without caring for those around you
