Sample: „This is the first of a series of recordings, it`s not designed to be followed word by word, but to serve as a basis for discussion:“
Chorus:
Welcome to the monetary,
we don`t settle for the ordinary,
get the knowledge, become a revolutionary,
and the message gonna hit you raw and heavy!
Verse:
Money make the people work, money make the people listen,
money make the people search, looking for a Job to fit in, (money)
forces competition, fighting for the pole-position,
money has an old tradition, turned into our new religion,
(money) brings the people up, (money) hold the people down.
dollar, euro, yen or pound, (money) make the world go round,
money runs the CEO, money rules the politician,
money rules the media, shut down the opposition,
(money) rules the government, money ruling every nation,
runs the daily news, money runs the TV-station,
someone making money, someone else`s money taken,
money was a tool for trade, now it`s speculation,
prices go up like they never gonna stop,
if you can`t pay the interest-rate you get knocked off your block,
so take this information cause you got to have it locked,
pass it on collectively and rise tot he top, so!
Chorus:
Welcome tot he monetary,
we don`t settle for the Ordinary,
get the knowledge, become a revolutionary,
and the message gonna hit you!
