Pittance
Disguised
As reward
In the form
Of “Loyalty” to
Corporations
“Earning” “Points”
Like you did
Something
Meaningful
Well, you didn’t
Save committing
Gross consumption
On a habitual level
That you must
Return to, as an
Obedient purchaser
Because you are, and
Always, all ways will
Be a loyal consumer
Not just to one single
Multinational
But the ones disguised
As separate competitors
Jacking up prices
Not because it is necessary
Rather, because they can
And for what
Some artificial reward
Like saving a nickel
On a gallon of gas
Which, as it bounces
Either side of five dollars
Means one saved 1 %
Whew, I can retire
Knowing some
Digital bean counter
Knows my purchases
And consumer habits
So they can narrow cast
My next cashless move
Quite a lot of contemplation
For very little remuneration
Rather a sad song and dance
For such a meager pittance
“Between Angels And Insects”
“There’s no money. There’s no possessions
Only obsession, I don’t need that shit
Take my money, take my obsession
I just want to be heard,
Loud and clear are my words
Comin’ from within, man,
Tell ’em what you heard
It’s about a revolution
In your heart and in your mind
You can’t find the conclusion,
Life-style and obsession
Diamond rings get you nothing
But a life-long lesson
And your pocket-book stressin’
You’re a slave to the system,
Working jobs that you hate
For that shit you don’t need
It’s too bad that the world is based on greed
Step back and see,
Stop thinking about yourself
Start thinking about
There’s no money. There’s no possession
Only obsession, I don’t need that shit
Take my money, take my possession
Take my obsession, I don’t need that shit
‘Cause everything is nothing and
Emptiness is in everything
This reality is really just a fucked up dream
With the flesh and the blood
That you call your soul
Flip it inside out, it’s a big black hole
Take your money, burn it up like an asteroid
Possessions ‒ they are never gonna fill the void
Take it away and learn the best lesson
The heart, the soul, the life, the passion
There’s no money, there’s no possession
Only obsession, I don’t need that shit
Take my money, take my possession
Take my obsession, I don’t need that shit
Money, possession, obsession
Present yourself, press your clothes
Comb your hair and clock-in
You just can’t win
Just can’t win
The things you own,
Own you now
Take my money, take my possession
Take my obsession, I don’t need that shit
Fuck your money, fuck your possession
Fuck your obsession, I don’t need that shit
Money, possession, obsession,
I don’t need that shit”
– Papa Roach
Nevermind…….
Keep consuming so
I can stay behind the wheel
Fortunately, I get to do
What I love and the money follows
“Do what you love and the money will follow.”
― Marsha Sinetar
“What do I know
I am just a person
Who drives a truck,”
