Jump onto the rollercoaster
your mind is hypnotised,
a pawn within a game of chess
and life will pass you by.
You are the joke, they'll bleed you dry,
as you race to meet demands,
for after all that's what you want
your desires they'll supply.
Just make sure you have the money
and they'll do anything,
yet any whiff of impoverishment
that's when your needs are turned to dust.
And if you are addicted
you'll be chained a worthless wreck,
for that rollercoaster never slows
they'll never let you go.
Don't feed upon your inner greed
that's where you'll com undone,
hoodwinked by the cloak of deceit
for your worth is not their concern.
