I don't want to be a rich girl

Money scares me

Make it go away

 

I don't want my life

To revolve around stupid paper

Tinted the color of hemlocks in the winter

 

I don't want slips of nothingness

To turn me cold and hard

I don't want to fall into the baren wasteland of 

"I want more"

 

More money

More stuff

Everything shinier and bigger

 

I would like to go back in time

Rewind the clock to when things didn't revolve around

Moneda

Yen 

Bucks

Cash

Take me back!

 

Was there such a time?

 

Save me

I'm slipping away

Everything costs more

I'm beginning to want more

I'm coming of age and money is worth more

I'm beginning to want it more

 

Save me

 

I turning into one of them

The robots 

The drones

Who work their butts off to make money

Just to give money

To the people

Who give them money

 

I don't want to be a rich girl

Money scares me

Make it go away

"Money makes the world go round the world go round the world go round, money makes the world go round it makes the world go- MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY" Our world is so corrupt that it's built upon a  foundation of tree pulp with faces on it.
