Cash is King
When you look at our current lifestyle,
And the cashless society of today…
There’s a need to reflect on all those liberties,
All those rights we gave away…
Think for just a moment,
How the banks have grown beyond belief…
As they erode away our finances,
A sanctioned legal thief…
You haven’t got an option,
Unlike the days not long ago…
When they paid us all in cash,
You got a pocket full of dough…
The banks were just a place,
To start a Christmas club account
But generally, they were avoided,
Only depositing a small amount…
No fees or charges then,
They were out to do their best,
To lure you in with good returns,
If you had moolah to invest…
But now they take our money,
Charge you for this and that…
Legal laundering of your dosh,
In the financial laundromat…
It’s your money but it’s now theirs,
Ruthlessly stealing away your stash…
Every time you withdraw funds,
To pay a bill or grab some cash…
You’re treated like a criminal,
If you withdraw a large amount…
Complaining they need more time to pay you
With your money from your account…
You can’t hide a damn thing anymore,
They know where you’ve been and gone…
As you payWave your life and details,
With every transaction and dollars drawn…
Big brother now knows everything,
Our privacy that’s been abused…
Sanctioned by the government,
Our misfortune is approved…
Cash is always king,
If you use more, you’ll have them bluffed…
You’ll be able to dodge the radar,
You’ll have the bludgers stuffed !
