lyrics

He recalled a time when money was green
When value had a weight, more than a mist, a dream

His money lived in museums
His money lived on a dot
Somewhere in the ocean, working so he didn't have to

He flew alone and he paid no cost
His inner life was a tax write-off

His trades were timed to the nano
He forgot how to drive
His remoteness from the real had eroded his mercy

And he felt sick
And he was
He had money poisoning
He had too much
We're here to help

You can't hide your love away
You can't take it to the grave

She set out to work around human rights
She saw them as commodities caught for a price

She found her stride in consulting
The public sector as well
Incidentally she never helped a single person

She dreamt in crimson, she exhaled frost
She spoke the language of veritas

She joined the board of directors
For something perfectly vague
Two years later it all fell apart but our girl was golden

But she felt sick
And she was
She had money poisoning
She had too much
We're here to help

Expropriation
You can't hide your love away
Expropriation
You can't take it to the grave

Got to give it up
It's not so much that we need it though we do
Got to give it up
It's more that you can't be trusted
We ditched the kings once before, let's get that haircut adjusted
