Money - Choking Victim

The function of that police action—those interventions in Central America and

the Middle East—the function is system sustaining

It is to maintain that overall system!

And you don’t look at the particular cost!

I could demonstrate to you that every single bank robbery, that in every single

case practically, the cost of the police was more than the actual money that

the robbers took from the bank

Does that mean, «Oh you see, there’s really no economic interest involved then

They’re not protecting the banks, the police are just doing this cause they’re

on a, a power trip or they’re macho, or they’re control freaks, that’s why they

do it.»

No, of course it’s an economic—of course they’re defending the banks—of course,

because if they didn’t stop that bank robbery, regardless of the cost,

this could jeopardize the entire banking system

You see, there are people who believe that the function of the police is to

fight crime, and that’s not true

The function of the police is social control and protection of property

I am sick and tired and my money’s always spent

Although their jobs be killing me their money pays my rent

The fuel of world hate, although it’s just a seed

But when it grows and flowers it becomes the world’s greed

Money for the rich, money for the fed

God supplies the money, and God supplies the dead

When you’re dead and ready, «exploited» be thy name

After you have money things are never quite the same

I don’t care for money, and money’s not for me

Their money fueled this empire and our racist history

Although I’m forced to use it, the rules have all been set

But life is not worth living when your soul’s in debt

Money for the rich, money for the fed

God supplies the money, and God supplies the dead

When you’re dead and ready, «exploited» be thy name

After you have money things are never quite the same

Never quite the same!

Money kills!

Money rapes!

Money lies!

Money hates!
