Money he chooses first

Money money
You do live for
Money money
Always wanting more

Value of yourself
You place your possessions
Status determines worth
This is your obsession

Pain deep pain
Those around you do sing
Pain deep pain
Green paper does bring

Self-proclaimed status you compare to her mother
This helps you feel superior
Yet your daughter is loosing respect
For your egotistical interior

Step on people
You do to get ahead money-wise
Step on people
You do in your shallow hearted disguise

Demean her mom and brag of yourself
You do well on a regular basis
Sadly your self-image is to blame
For the many poor choices

A name for yourself
You have come to achieve
A name for yourself not a good one
Only you are deceived

Your child once innocent
Has come to see her Father
As a man who views money and winning
This is the only way to go further

No longer your children
You have in your life
No longer your children
Is it really worth all the strife?

Further away from your children
This you have accomplished
Preference of money you chose for yourself
Having them around have you not missed?

Life is so very short
Spend time with those you love
Life is so very short
Once it is gone money flies away like a dove

It is never enough when you are trapped
In that greedy state of mind
Rather time spent with them
Teaches them to others to be kind

What will you have left
When the children are grown
When your example they take
And no longer are torn

The greed and the ego
They have taken you beyond
You are running with them fast
Sadly as you sink in the lonely corporate pond
