Money game part 2

[00:01.23] (ah-mm)

[00:06.01] (ah-mm)

[00:11.06] Strange time we're livin' in, panic and hysteria

[00:13.71] Poor man learn, the rich man don't care for ya'

[00:16.11] Narcissist mindsets spread like malaria

[00:18.50] Sit back and watch the show, America

[00:20.88] Britain split through fickle shit

[00:23.02] A government of hypocrites

[00:25.43] These counterfeit politicians sit

[00:28.08] In parliament, not adequate (come on)

[00:30.75] Needlessly bleeding resources all dry

[00:33.14] Turn a blind eye if it means a pay rise (oh-oh)

[00:35.79] "Oh what a shame it would be, I would die!"

[00:37.91] If Number 10 Downing Street burned in a fire (oh-oh)

[00:40.85] Only joking, only messing, don't be stressing

[00:42.70] I'm a peaceful adolescent, there's no need to be unpleasant

[00:45.09] Write my thesis in a rhyme scheme to analyze the brain

[00:47.74] While my finger's on the trigger of a money game

[00:50.14] Oh, rain, rain, rain, rain

[00:52.79] A storm, it comes our way

[00:55.19] And those who rise through distorted lies

[00:57.58] Poison in the veins

[00:59.43] But we like to point the blame, blame, blame, blame

[01:02.62] It's easier to blame

[01:04.75] But point the mirror at ourselves

[01:07.40] We're all part of this old money game (oh-oh)

[01:10.84] Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

[01:13.24] Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm (oh-oh)

[01:15.63] Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

[01:18.02] This old money game (oh-oh)

[01:20.68] Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

[01:23.07] Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm (oh-oh)

[01:25.47] Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

[01:28.12] This old (oh-oh)

[01:29.71] Money is a game, and the ladder we climb

[01:31.57] Turns a saint into a sinner with his finger in crime (oh-oh)

[01:33.96] I'll break it down for you motherfuckers, line by line

[01:36.62] This is business economics in a nursery rhyme (oh-oh)

[01:39.55] She sells seashells on the seashore

[01:41.66] But the value of these shells will fall (oh-oh)

[01:44.32] Due to the laws of supply and demand

[01:46.45] No one wants to buy shells, 'cause there's loads on the sand

[01:48.83] Step one, you must create a sense of scarcity

[01:50.96] Shells will sell much better if the people think they're rare, you see

[01:53.89] Bear with me (oh-oh)

[01:54.15] Take as many shells as you can find and hide them on an island

[01:56.54] Stockpile 'em high, until they're rarer than a diamond (oh-oh)

[01:58.93] Step two, gotta make the people think that they want 'em

[02:01.05] Really want 'em, really fucking want 'em

[02:02.38] Hit 'em like Bronson, influencers, product placement (oh-oh)

[02:04.77] Featured prime-time entertainment

[02:05.85] If you haven't got a shell

[02:07.43] Then you're just a fucking waste, man (oh-oh)

[02:09.02] Three, it's monopoly, invest inside some property

[02:11.14] Start a corporation, make a logo, do it properly

[02:13.80] "Shells must sell," that will be your new philosophy

[02:15.93] Swallow all your morals, they're a poor man's quality

[02:18.59] Four, expand, expand, expand

[02:20.71] Clear forest, make land, fresh blood on hand

[02:23.10] Five, why just shells? Why limit yourself?

[02:25.49] She sells seashells, sell oil as well

[02:28.15] Six, guns, sell stocks, sell diamonds, sell rocks

[02:30.54] Sell water to a fish, sell the time to a clock

[02:32.93] Seven, press on the gas, take your foot off the brakes

[02:35.32] Then run to be the president of the United States

[02:37.72] Eight, big smile, mate! Big wave, that's great

[02:40.37] Now the truth is overrated, tell lies out the gate

[02:42.76] Nine, polarize the people, controversy is the game

[02:45.15] It don't matter if they hate you, if they all say your name

[02:47.80] Ten, the world is yours

[02:50.20] Step out on the stage to a round of applause

[02:52.59] You're a liar, a cheat, a devil, a whore

[02:55.25] And you sell seashells on the seashore

[02:57.91] Rain, rain, rain, rain

[03:00.29] A storm, it comes our way

[03:02.41] And those who rise through distorted lies

[03:04.80] Poison in the veins

[03:06.67] But we like to point the blame, blame, blame, blame

[03:09.86] It's easier to blame

[03:12.26] But point the mirror at ourselves

[03:14.65] We're all part of this old money game (oh-oh)

[03:18.36] Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

[03:20.49] Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm (oh-oh)

[03:23.15] Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

[03:25.27] This old money game (oh-oh)

[03:27.93] Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

[03:30.31] Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm (oh-oh)

[03:32.71] Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

[03:35.36] This old (oh-oh)
