The Moneytrain (5:32)

Well I remember mama said
You work and you'll get paid
You don't fool around and get a decent job
 
You'll make money and can buy
All the things you'll need in life
There's a chance for everybody who will try
 
So I did like I was told
I worked hard but I got sold
Making money for the bosses not for me
 
Life is not like in my dreams
And big money as it seems
Finds a way around my wallet anyway
 
 
Money
Where's it come from
And where does it always go?
 
There're corporate affairs
And the value of shares
But I always end up broke
 
There's a moneytrain
There's a moneytrain
And it's always passing me by
 
At the tracks of salvation
Standing in the wrong station
Couldn't make it stop if I tried
 
 
You know money's flowing up
Accumulating at the top
Where it ends up being figures on a screen
 
It's gets taken by the greedy
From the pockets of the needy
And that's the way it's always been
 
And so the rich is getting richer
As the poor man fades away
In his fighting for survival everyday
 
And the moneytrain will speed
Past my neighbourhood in need
Thinkin: Someone make the money stop for me!
 
 
Money
Where's it come from
And where does it always go?
 
There're corporate affairs
And the value of shares
But I always end up broke
 
There's a moneytrain
There's a moneytrain
And it's always passing me by
 
At the tracks of salvation
Standing in the wrong station
Couldn't make it stop if I tried
 
 
And the moneytrain will leave us
With our backs against the wall
 
Looking in the grinning faces
Of the few who've got it all
 
Who will trade our lives for cash
And for revenues and shares
 
Without ever working hard
And that's unfair
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
 
Stop the train!
 
 
So we're standing on the tracks
Of the moneytrain in rags
'Cos we hardly keep our families alive
 
We should earn a good living
With the gifts that we've been given
But the greedy raise the prices to the sky
 
So the signal turns to halt
As the train stops with a jolt
And we will not leave until the rich obey
 
To our voices that insist
We need money to exist
And return what has been taken back our way
 
Singing:
Money
What's the answer
And why is there never enough?
 
The imbalance in flow
Makes the cash always go
Magnetized by the powers above
 
Stop the moneytrain
Stop the moneytrain
Stop the moneytrain right in its tracks
 
Withhold the currency fuelling
This system inhuman
That is ruled by profit not by heart
 
 
Money
Where's it come from
And where does it always go?
 
There're corporate affairs
And the value of shares
But I always end up broke
 
There's a moneytrain
There's a moneytrain
And it's always passing me by
 
At the tracks of salvation
Standing in the wrong station
Couldn't make it stop if I tried
 
Stop the train!
