Array ( [sid] => 66313 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Homo economicus [time] => 2004-10-06 10:34:56 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Profit margin bussiness suits
Leader of the evolutionary race
Lost in our money
Currency for trade
Turns us to greedey animals
We love the way it looks in our paws
As if it was our own peacocks tail
Strut your name brand
Sell your self for paper
Buy the money from the governing body
Give it right back!
Numbers and symbols across the digital screen
Oil wars for a piece of power
Take it and eat it
Hows it taste
Does it make you feel good
The bloodmoney
I know you love me honey
Can I have some more?
More and more
More zeros worth more
Life is worth more!
Blinded by a billboard blocking the sun
Are you going to kill us
To gain a profit
Arrows point up
Arrows point down
But the bulls eyes on us
Leave your fake smile
I don’t need your politics
Anarchy
I don’t need your dollar value
Your barrels of oil
I don’t need your rises and gains
Leave your fake smile!
I don’t want to watch the world die.
