Money Made Man Mad

Lyrics:

Money Made Man Mad.

Let me take you back four thousand years,
to the city of Babylon.
The king had found a way to make his slaves,
work all day and all night long.
He made bits of metal with his picture on them,
and said, "Buddy if you work for these,
You can buy back some of the world God made,
and you can have some fruit from off His trees."
CHORUS
God made man, man made money. Money made man mad. (2x)

The poor get poorer 'cause the rich get richer,
by hoarding all their ill gotten gains.
And they get a helping hand from the laws of the land.
It's greed that makes us all insane.

(CHORUS)

People are so strange about the medium of exchange,
they won't help you till you pay them back.
They all just want to take a bit more of the cake.
That's why this country's going to the pack.

(CHORUS)

But soon's the hour when those in power
will be thrown down from off their chairs.
And all the banks and guns and tanks
will be melted down to make plow shares.

(CHORUS)

@SonikToooth Because you kinda need money to live, you cant just say fuck money and still live a good life....... unless you consider homeless a good life..... We use money to improve churches....... Why are you such a troll?

[SonikToooth]

Jesuschristians are a piece of shit, if they hate money so much then why do they ask for a donation from their shitty dvds. Eat a dick.

[Bonigee]

To be correct the Song should read:

God made man

Man made money

But the "LOVE of money" made man mad.

Great opening verse! We work for these tokens & "bits of metal" so that we can buy the things that God has provivded for us freely. We should be sharing the worlds recources, rather than keeping them under lock and key, giving priority to the fortunate people with the fattest wallets.

Hi Red,

It seems you've misunderstood the message here, which is understandable considering the amount of brainwashing people receive from the time they are born.

Whether it be money or food the point is the greed behind getting more and more. Money represents a more efficient way to get more for ourselves.

Even with dumpster hauls for a religious community it is possible to be greedy. That is why videos like this are so important; those constant reminders to keep ourselves in check.
