Marley & Me

*Intro*
I'm just a unproductive little textile factory boy
unproductive little textile factory boy
unproductive little textile factory boy
unproductive litte
*Verse*
oh Marley and me
we walk down the street
co-opting the profits from the people we meet
an industry process
material lochness
like we're livin in scotland, 1933
Marley and me
we stay while and we kick up our feet
on the backs of people like the Cratchet family
so will you concede within this worker compensation narrative
marley and me
we walk down the street
decent people eatin lunch we pull the chair underneath
the hair of the dog is simply pennies and dimes
overplaying a hypnosis into upperclass crimes
Marley and me
we're contracted thieves
steal gold and silver from an older man's teeth, its his livelihood
stream directing the steam
To see your trickledown economics evaporating upwards
*Chorus*
Two pickpockets with an economic background
tax collector team, 19th century debthound
two pickpockets with an economic background
Two pick pockets with an economic background
gold teeth fall into the belly of the confounds
two pick pockets with an economic background
Lower class, fade to the background
Lower class, fade to the background
Lower class, fade to the background
*Verse*
Marley and me ran a pyramid scheme
embezeling money in an offshore account
if the factory blew up like the triangle shirtwaist
we'd be screamin and cryin through the streets of the town
oh Marley and me we're not quite legitimate
whistleblower factory staff we get rid of them
company secrets never see the hands of idiots
company secrets never see the hands of idiots
*Pre-chorus*
I might throw in towel ya know, if I'm gonna become a demon
And he said scrooge ya are one man, I wish I could get ya to see it
I might throw in towel ya know, if I'm gonna become a demon
And he said scrooge ya are one man, I wish I could get ya to see it
Can ya see it?
Can ya see?
*Chorus*
Two pickpockets with an economic background
tax collector team, 19th century debthound
two pickpockets with an economic background
Two pick pockets with an economic background
gold teeth fall into the belly of the confounds
two pick pockets with an economic background
Lower class, fade to the background
Lower class, fade to the background
Lower class, fade to the background
*Bridge*
Why ya gotta hoard the peoples' resources, you won't be here long
And man ya got no soul to steal from the food bank on a tuesday
Why ya gotta split the pie 6 digits out when our plates are bare
You know it ain't fair to give a whole goose roast to a glutton
Sing why ya gotta hoard the peoples' resources, you won't be here long
And man ya got no soul to steal from the food bank on a tuesday
Why ya gotta split the pie 6 digits out when our plates are bare
You know it ain't fair to give a whole goose roast to a glutton

Money Over Me
03:05

*Intro*
Money comes money goes, money comes money goes
Money comes money goes, I am a human I am forever
Money comes money goes, money comes money goes
Money comes money goes, I am a human I am forever
*Chorus*
How do you consistently choose the money over me, the money over me
How do you consistently choose the money over me, the money over me
*Verse*
Wait for you all night outside the steakhouse, a dinner for one
Our love is corrupted but I planned a stakeout, like Richard Nixon
But Ben Franklin is your best man so I let him walk you to the stand
Walk you to the stand
Unplug from the jammed up ATM, just start being honest
Company dollars built our foundation, it's crumbling I promise
*Chorus*
How do you consistently choose the money over me, the money over me
How do you consistently choose the money over me, the money over me
*Verse*
We were supposed to get an apartment in the fall
But you were prioritizing yourself, it's a character flaw
You were off getting into bed with crooks without even a call
I was the elephant in the room and you wanted me gone
I'd almost rather you were ruthless, give me your two cents,
than drag me along
I'd almost rather you were ruthless, give me your two cents,
than drag me along
*Chorus*
How do you consistently choose the money over me, the money over me
How do you consistently choose the money over me, the money over me
*Bridge*
And I tried
So Scrooge can you just swallow your pride, tonight
*Solo*
Money over me
Money over me (x4)
*Outro*
Money comes money goes, money comes money goes
Money comes money goes, I am a human I am forever
Money comes money goes, money comes money goes
Money comes money goes, I am a human I am forever
