Cash (Acoustic) Lyrics

You can't take without giving

You can't take without giving

You can't take without giving

Too busy making a living we forgot about living

Cash rules the world and everything in it

Slaves to the game from the very first minute

I played it long enough to know there ain't no way to win it

Gotta rewrite the rules and rip up the limits

Greed and consumption are the present presumptions

That occupy lives with a failure to function

We shop and we groom, never stop to assume

Maybe happiness ain't in that big list of things that we bought to consume

A man with a dream to take a stand for the team

I got a plan to redeem the failed commanding regime

Demand is extreme 'cause on this planet it seems

It's all a scam or a scheme to cram us into machines

Too many comply, stick their heads in the cloud

But you don't need a third eye to see beyond that crowd

If you got half a mind, you better speak it out loud

What's the rule we defy, come on spit it out now

Cash ain't God

The system is breaking

Cash ain't God

The world is waking

Believe in your own voice

Have faith in your own choice

Believe in your own voice

Have faith in your own choice

Cash rules me I won't dispute that fact

It's a pass thru key to the freedoms I lack

But I only ask to receive so that I can give back

'Cause I ain't the last who believes we ain't just here to subtract

Lose the trend my friends, don't pretend to defend

Some political propaganda as the means to an end

We can't seize and consume, there ain't infinite room

On this itty-bitty rock that will be filling up soon

Don't you see what I say ain't no need to delay

Gonna weave a new way to believe in today

Create to sustain, rejuvenate and maintain

Postulate and cultivate one world-wide change

If you ain't got a lot you got the most to gain

Whether you have or have not, you own a heart and a brain

Your freedom is fuel and your voice is the flame

Throw your fist in the air and tell me what we claim

Cash ain't God

The system is breaking

Cash ain't God

The world is waking

Cash is great, cash is good

So they say but maybe I misunderstood

'Cause by those hands only a few get fed

So forget that cash, how about equality instead
