about

Recorded live at Congregation Mishkan Tefila, Chestnut Hill, MA, March 12, 2016

lyrics

we'll make money selling paper
to the federal reserve
printing pictures on the paper
to show the purpose that they serve
we'll get paper from the bankers
with pretty pictures back again
put the numbers in computers
to remember where we stand

there's no love in this world, only people using people
grab yourself a girl
let your pirate flag unfurl
there's no love in this world, only people using people
take what you can get
you can drown yourself in debt

there are two kinds of people
fools and those who understand
we created this illusion
to control the working man
make him struggle his whole life
never let him see the plan
debt as money is freedom
for the invisible hand

there's no love in this world, only people using people
grab yourself a girl
let your pirate flag unfurl
there's no love in this world, only people using people
take what you can get
you can drown yourself in debt

we'll make money selling paper
to the federal reserve
printing pictures on the paper
to show the purpose that they serve
