Money Lyrics by Choking Victim

No Gods / No Managers

1999

[Intro: Michael Parenti]
"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..."
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Never quite the same
[Outro]
Money kills!
Money rapes!
Money lies!
Money hates!
One, two, three, go!
