As We Have Been Told

Money speaks every language as we have been told And i would like to grow happier and healthier and wealthier as i grow old But it is said what we are due from life we receive If on such a philosophy you do believe The longest human life in time not a long span I would like to live on for to be an old man And have heaps of money and be happy and wealthy till the end The one without money often short of a friend Perhaps it is for the poor and the homeless the wealthy invented God As a means of hope for the World's down-trod That in their Earthly poverty their ticket to paradise they will gain Till death the hope of soul salvation in them does remain My best days it is true to the forever gone But i do love life and i hope to live on To pop the champagne corks on a big lotto win For to daydream of better times never a sin.
