When money talks, its cries Drown out their voices Of those trampled beneath Their feelings and their lives So misery lies in the street And I try to draw a line Between my drives and my needs But I don't know where it lies When doubt talks, it murmurs I always hear Influencing choices Blurs what should be clear Competing voices Make me fear Exploitation These murmurs are deafening my ear In this confusion I feel unsure I feel infected With what i seek to cure Remnants left behind From attempts to break away Now just wondering If I mean what i say Crying Murmuring Screaming They're all talking When fear talks, it screams Straight inside Coerced surrender Action forced to bind Looking, i see nothing of worth On the other side Left somewhere I don't want to be To watch the march of time
