SHOW ME THE MONEY
Before the champagne bottles get uncorked
Before the laughter become rowdy
And the music gets louder
Please show me the money

I thought it was all about us
But we were not invited to the clinging of glasses
The Politicians with their flowing robes
Sweating profusely as they celebrate another landmark
The Gross Domestic Product has risen
But my stomach still rumbles with emptiness
Before the dance begins
Please show me the money

What was the hullabaloo all about?
Clouds without water
Drums without drumsticks
Economic growth without development
All I want is a little change
A little ease in my life’s range
Before this charade continues
Please show me the money

I have heard of the big figures
I have no need for them
But I won’t mind a little morsel
With something to wash it down
You may dance and laugh all you want
All I need is a little help
Please show me the money
