Whom is the Biggest Criminal ?
The person who robs a bank - or the person whom owns the bank ?

I've got ninety thousand pounds in my pyjamas,
I've got forty thousand french francs in my fridge.
I've got lots of lovely lire,
Now the Deutschemark's getting dearer,
And my dollar bills would buy the Brooklyn Bridge.
Chorus: There is nothing quite as wonderful as money,
There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash.
Some people say it's folly,
But I'd rather have the lolly,
With money you can ma-ake a splash.
Finale: There is nothing quite wonderful as money,
(money,money,money,mon
ey)
There is nothing like a newly minted pound,
(money,money,money,money)
All: Everyone must hanker for the butchness of a banker,
It's accountancy that makes the world go round.
(round,round,round)
You can keep your Marxist ways
For it's only just a phase.
For it's money money money makes the world go round.
(money,money,money,money
money,money,money,money
moneeeeeeeeeeeyyyy)

Not a poem, but I heard in the car this morning
I think I'm sophisticated
'Cause I'm living my life like a good homosapien
But all around me everybody's multiplying
And they're walking round like flies man
So I'm no better than the animals sitting in their cages
in the zoo man
Because compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
I am an apeman
I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized
'Cause I'm a strict vegetarian
But with the over-population and inflation and starvation
And the crazy politicians
I don't feel safe in this world no more
I don't want to die in a nuclear war
I want to sail away to a distant shore
And make like an apeman
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape apeman
I'm an apeman
I'm a King Kong man I'm ape apeman
I am an apeman
'Cause compared to the sun that sits in the sky
Compared to the clouds as they roll by
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies
I am an apeman
In man's evolution he has created the cities and
the motor traffic rumble,
But give me half a chance
and I'd be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle
'Cause the only time that I feel at ease
Is swinging up and down in a coconut tree
Oh what a life of luxury
To be like an apeman
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape apeman,
I'm an apeman
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voo-doo man
I am an apeman
I look out my window, but I can't see the sky
'Cause the air pollution is fogging up my eyes
I want to get out of this city alive
And make like an apeman
Come and love me, be my apeman girl
And we will be so happy in my apeman world
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape apeman,
I'm an ape man
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voo-doo man
I am an apeman
I'll be your Tarzan, you'll be my Jane
I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane
And we'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day
Just like an apeman
I'm an apeman, I'm an apeape man,
I'm an ape man
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voo-doo man
I am an apeman.
I don't feel safe in this world no more
I don't want to die in a nuclear war
I want to sail away to a distant shore
And make like an apeman.

Nations , Economies , Epochs may come and go - but welcome back my Friends to the show that never ends.
There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution
We are spirits in the material world
Our so-called leaders speak
With words they try to jail you
The subjugate the meek
But its the rhetoric of failure
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day
If its something we cant buy
There must be another way
We are spirits in the material worldTags: None
