They lived in a different era, in a different area,
Not today, and never in our cities,
And so they drew a conclusion,
That money is not everything. Right.
I live in this era, in this area,
Today, and in these cities,
And behold, a thing so strange:
The newest disability is lack of money. Right.
Today, in this cities, if you can’t have money:
You can’t eat, for money is food;
You can’t drink, for money is water;
You can’t dress, for money is clothing;
You can’t find refuge, for money is shelter.
Today, in these cities, if you have no money:
You have no space, for money occupies space;
You have no voice, for money speaks;
You have no right, for money has might;
You have no peace, for money commands comfort.
Today, in these cities, if you don\'t have money:
You don\'t study, for education costs money;
You don\'t know, for information costs money;
You don\'t communicate, for airtime costs money;
You don\'t matter, for money matters.
Today, in these cities, if you won\'t have money:
You won\'t move, for transport requires money;
You won\'t bathe, for bathroom requires money;
You won\'t poop, for toilet requires money;
You won\'t pee, for restroom requires money.
No money, no food,
No food, no health,
No health, no life.
Thus, in these cities: no money, no life.
No money, no hospital,
No hospital, no medication,
No medication, no life.
Thus, in these cities: no money, no life.
No money, no shelter,
No shelter, no security,
No security, no life.
Thus, in these cities: no money, no life.
No money, no voice,
No voice, no right,
No right, no life.
Thus, in these cities: no money, no life.
So it was, then and there:
Not money, not everything.
And it is, now and here:
No money, no everything.
