Money Speaks Out

On top of the world, when I unfold things unfurl

I'm cherished in the hearts of men & women, boys & girls

My importance is off the charts, I'm the reason you set goals

People even worship me; Im telling you that I own souls.

Im the object of your affection, embedded in hopes and dreams

I come in several forms, some that fold, some that gleams

And I've conquered hearts and contorted perceptions

Cast down judgments and took charge of misdirection

Manipulation is easy if the right influence is selected

I'm good at what I do, how do you think Bush was re-elected.

I'm know worldwide, and it deeply amuses me

And I'm now tired of those people that frequently abuses me

Miss-using me will piss me off and make me diminish

You wanna play games? Go ahead, I'll wait 'till you finish.

It's ridiculous how much people love my presence

I bring presents to disguise the true scent of my essence

You're priorities are bent, I'm lent to help vent and bring back profits

Profit for the lenders, who understand I tell the future like prophets.

It's sad that none of you can live without me, literal in all definitions

But I can live without you, keeping things going in a cycle like repetition

I make ya do crazy things, you'd kill your family only to gain my favor

Entangled in my rewards, in the long run its satisfaction that only I savor.

What's my name?.....well, it's pronunciation depends on youre origin

Because my background is more complicated than the catholic religion

But for a universal translation, ummm I guess you can call me Money

I got the world on my shoulders, well really it's on my account numbers.
