Money is a mighty addiction

What we own determines our worth

Gives meaning to one's luxurious life

And sets our position on this earth

A common goal for which we strive

The more we have, the more we need

Money is a mighty addiction for everyone

It may provide power to those who lead

Yet chains are created and freedom is gone

For what you own will end up owning you

Materials turn out to be ties around your neck

But you have to realize this in order to cut through

The more you desire, the easier your insight will lack

So never place too much importance on objects

Vulnerable and dependent is what you will become

Happiness is not a guaranty that money projects

Greed is a filthy feeling you need to run away from

Travel light and you will find out that what I say is true

Only bring necessities for you will probably lose a lot

And that will only make you feel miserable and blue

Though worth is not determined by what we got

I don’t intend to say that love is the most important thing

Since that word is now empty and the power will go away

But freedom is a word I will always be able to sing

And it will be achieved by these simple words I needed to say
