Kids ripped untimely from mother and home
Bunged into their class surrounded all lone
Connections to squeeze parts cram in the play
Handy lines one day to fool the world astray
Guilt edged legacy birthright from the clan
Pursuing money’s reproductive plan
A silver spoon but at the end a paid maid’s hand
A well-served everland for others to withstand
You have money but then money has you
You spend money but then money spends you
Poor Rich Poor Rich Poor Rich Poor
Losing kids so young for their bringing up
Making more natural less plainly corrupt
The bully order of the familiar few
Mammon’s work to do with the well-primed cue
Poor money conned rich their guarded gardens
With paid-up play pals lies and pardons
Litigated spouse objects massed higher
Always the buyer for others’ desire
Poor Rich Poor Rich Poor Rich Poor
