You can't take without giving
You can't take without giving
You can't take without giving
Too busy making a living we forgot about living
Cash rules the world and everything in it
Slaves to the game from the very first minute
I played it long enough to know there ain't no way to win it
Gotta rewrite the rules and rip up the limits
Greed and consumption are the present presumptions
That occupy lives with a failure to function
We shop and we groom, never stop to assume
Maybe happiness ain't in that big list of things that we bought to consume
A man with a dream to take a stand for the team
I got a plan to redeem the failed commanding regime
Demand is extreme 'cause on this planet it seems
It's all a scam or a scheme to cram us into machines
Too many comply, stick their heads in the cloud
But you don't need a third eye to see beyond that crowd
If you got half a mind, you better speak it out loud
What's the rule we defy, come on spit it out now
Cash ain't God
The system is breaking
Cash ain't God
The world is waking
Believe in your own voice
Have faith in your own choice
Believe in your own voice
Have faith in your own choice
Cash rules me I won't dispute that fact
It's a pass thru key to the freedoms I lack
But I only ask to receive so that I can give back
'Cause I ain't the last who believes we ain't just here to subtract
Lose the trend my friends, don't pretend to defend
Some political propaganda as the means to an end
We can't seize and consume, there ain't infinite room
On this itty-bitty rock that will be filling up soon
Don't you see what I say ain't no need to delay
Gonna weave a new way to believe in today
Create to sustain, rejuvenate and maintain
Postulate and cultivate one world-wide change
If you ain't got a lot you got the most to gain
Whether you have or have not, you own a heart and a brain
Your freedom is fuel and your voice is the flame
Throw your fist in the air and tell me what we claim
Cash ain't God
The system is breaking
Cash ain't God
The world is waking
Cash is great, cash is good
So they say but maybe I misunderstood
'Cause by those hands only a few get fed
So forget that cash, how about equality instead
