TRUTH ABOUT MONEY

It’s said money doesn’t buy happiness. At the very least, people want enough money to be able to afford to pay for the illusion that it does.

It is said money isn’t everything
But people without it
Want enough money to be able to form their own judgement
Many say money doesn’t grow on trees
But I’ve learned if you’re smart enough
You can make money grow anywhere
It’s said money doesn’t buy happiness
At the very least
People want enough money to be able to afford to pay for the illusion that it does
Many swear money itself is the root of all evil
But in a world where money rules
No goodness can come from being without

This is a track from my latest album, A Patchwork Remedy for A Broken Melody. Listen now on SoundCloud.
