Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
…
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

On the market exchange of one’s freedom and self-determination for money:
All they want is,
All your money.
Don’t it scare ya’,
When they take such good care of ya’,
And all you’ve got is money?
Before they fool ya’,
Please, let me school ya’,
All you’ve got is money.
