The Money​-​God

from Jim Dusty - Words Of Prey by Jim Dusty

/

lyrics

As word of corruption trickles down through the ranks
A woman falls to her knees at the Commonwealth Bank
She prays,
For just one more day.

And in the holy land, the buildings scrape the face of the sky,
While disciples below wrapped in white skin, black suits and ties
The oath they do sigh.

Thou shalt make money,
Thou shalt not lose thy job.
Bow your head, and pray to the ATM
Hypothetical wealth appears in numbers on a screen
Allows you to eat the flesh and drink the blood,
Of the capitalist machine.

Come all ye faithful, slaves of the coin
This train's bound for ruin, so together lets join and refrain
'Cause we can't obstain.

To be tangled in the web, is to struggle and fail,
But to live outside the system is to die on the streets or in jail
So we must hail.

Thou shalt make money,
Thou shalt not lose thy job.
Bow your head, and pray to the ATM
Hypothetical wealth appears in numbers on a screen
Allows you to eat the flesh and drink the blood,
Of the capitalist machine.
