"The root of all evil is that green paper that we often chase
Trying to quickly make as much as we can like if it's a race
But is that really the goal in life?
What about having kids and a happy wife?
Whatever happened to the real goals that truly matter
This isn't a knock to those workaholics
But might as well call it 'workaholism' while we're at it
People literally killin' themselves for a bigger check
It's like an addiction that we have that we can't shake
Trying to get as many zeros as we can to fill our banks
While missing out on time we could've spent with our loved ones
Too busy with work not realizing what we've become
More focused on meeting deadlines than watching our children grow
We mix up our priorities because throughout life work is all we know
It doesn't have to be this way though
Why do you think so many are clamoring for a revolution
They don't mean an actual one with guns and violence
They have more sense, it's seen more like a solution
To this issue of the high cost of living
Wouldn't it be nice living comfortably with not having to worry about late bills?
Or even better live comfortably and even partake in giving
To those that aren't able to afford the bare necessities
This isn't an earth shattering idea of mine I'm not saying anything new
Canada has universal healthcare and we need that it's true
Reading these crazy stories of people being denied healthcare while they're dying
While the families are pleading for help crying
Don't you see how this economic structure is all wrong?
These big wigs and CEO's don't want this 'Obamacare' bill to pass
Instead of wanting to help their fellow citizens they prefer to turn their back
All because it means a little less money in their pockets, it's integrity they lack
They complain that these tax increases will be too deep
All while having lifetime businesses and enough money for their children's children to keep
Greed is what fuels these people in high places
All for a green piece of paper with dead presidents' faces."
