Money speaks
The sleaziest language of all
When the players ride their high horses
With no threat of the fall
It’s a game played on the highest of stakes
Where their wealth speaks more
Then these individuals could ever communicate
The dollar signs mean more to them
Then family and friends
Being in clover
Means they never have to care
For whom they step on
Instead they're plagued with nightmares
Of losing all the precious figures
In their extravagant pay checks

pay cheques? Well, the word 'sleaziest', shows the disdain of this as an observation shows the like-wise ugly nature I see of greed. It's terrible thought but all too real when thinking about it --- constantly, well explained.
