"The best things in life are free, but you can give them to the birds and bees, I want money" [Dec. 9th, 2009|01:22 am]

*song lyric by the Flying Lizards
poem below inspired by...well, it is obvious.


someone sang, long ago, that
"all you need is LOVE"
but he's long dead and in the ground;
John can't see what we've become

our lives beat green, veins of cash
sit back, and watch them flow:
the dollar, the yen, the euro, the pound
can make those feelings go

some men have it, some men don't,
so get it while you can, man
nothin' that can't be bought or sold
but if you're broke then hit that road

and when night falls and health is gone
we hope you've saved enough;
life's too short, but can be longer
if you have the dough

'cuz all you need is cash, fast
all you need is cash, at the last
all you need is cash, you ass,
cash is all you need, cash is all you need
