MONEY MAKES ME SAD

A woman's walking with bare feet
Up and down the filthy street
She boards a subway car

Her nail polish is chipping off
She prays for saints that will not scoff
Or blow her off

So I light a match inside my brain
My head explodes blood covers the train
She stares in awe

People keep on walking by
They crush my nose and poke my eye
She wards them off

She says "Money makes me sad
But I'm too sad to cry
Too truthful to lie
Too numb to die"

I get up and walk around
My head's in pieces on the ground
She fixes what's been done

She screams out all her lungs
Ties them together with her tongue
And shows everyone

People freeze they don't speak a word
They drop to their knees and offer her the world
She rights their wrongs

She says "I don't need nothing from you
I've only done what I'd hoped you'd do"
And that's where we belong
