6395 - Money talks


 The new USA anthem. 



Lyrics
Yeah
Tailored suits, chauffeured carsFine hotels and big cigarsUp for grabs, up for a priceWhere the red hot girls keep on dancing through the night
The claim is on you, the sights are on meSo what do you do that's guaranteed?Hey little girl, you want it allThe furs, the diamonds, the painting on the wall
Come on, come on, lovin' for the moneyCome on, come on, listen to the money talkCome on, come on, lovin' for the moneyCome on, come on, listen to the money talk
A French maid, foreign chefA big house with king-size bedYou've had enough, you ship them outThe dollar's up, down, you'd better buy the pound
The claim is on you, the sights are on meSo what do you do that's guaranteed?Hey little girl, you break the lawsYou hustle, you deal, you steal from us all
Come on, come on, lovin' for the money (moneytalks)Come on, come on, listen to the money talk (moneytalks)Come on, come on, lovin' for the money (moneytalks)Come on, come on, listen to the money talk
Money talksYeah-yow
Money talksBS walksMoney talksCome on, come on
Come on, come on, lovin' for the money (moneytalks)Come on, come on, listen to the money talk (moneytalks)Come on, come on, lovin' for the money (moneytalks)Come on, come on, listen to the money talk (moneytalks)
Moneytalks(Come on, come on, listen to the money talk) Money talk, talk, talk(Come on, come on, lovin' for the money) Oh, hear it talk(Come on, come on, listen to the money talk) Yeah, yeah-yeahMoney talk

Money does talk that's for sure, that's why poor people never get listened to.

I'll add this to the rotation for a future Musical Sunday post. It ranks right up there with Warren Zevon's "Lawyers, Guns, and Money."

"You break the laws / You hustle, you deal, you steal from us all" -- Trump, Musk and MAGA in a nutshell alright.

Ignorance, apathy, and fear ultimately paves the road to authoritarianism and the collapse of democratic freedoms and equality.

Greed of the oligarchs and the combination of IAF among the greater population has lead to our present realiy.

The song came out in 1990. Things haven't changed much.

The oligarchs are to prepared this time. We're going to get screwed big time.
