Captured by the dollar, held hostage by the sun
Thinking about the credit crunch or how long it takes to burn
Seeing all the news bulletins showing downward trends
Applying factor 10 and hope the cycle ends

Chorus
Money isn’t everyting can we all agree
Just enough to go round and let us all be free

Many curriences used to get them what they want
What they need to purchase sometimes can’t be wrong
Prada shoes, Chanel bags, Gucci shades to match
Then someone lets a bomb off and all we do is watch

Chorus

Who is in control of how our lives are run
Does it come from men in suits or those who have a gun
Are we all really, so naive to think
That we have a say in this – just have another drink
Chorus

Walking down a street, could be any town
Window shopping all the time leaves us with a frown
Lot of everyday people searching for a job
Nobody wants them so all they do is sob

Chorus

Power lies at the heart of this
Controlling all our lives
Whoever wins this contest
Will own the earth and skies

Chorus
