• The Crunch

As long as money talks you can't buy the truth
As long as money speaks you won't hear the truth
In the first case, I am assuming corruption
I know you cannot work out a fair price
And, second, those upholding chatty coinage
Must have motives kept disguised and that's not truth
Truth is plural

Pleasure is an inspirational act
They pit pleasure against the conscience
To determine what pleasure shall entail
They take one man's word and turn it against him
So people will require distress in comfort
Pleasure is pleasing to accept, distress needs learning
And the idea of education,
When devised with this in mind,
Makes the untold easier to swallow
And the idea of tradition, when devised with this in mind,
Makes their taught laws easier to follow
So surround the pupils with your folklore
This requires no groundwork by the students
Injections of learning supports the fascist mysticism
Which balances the principle of pleasure with one of achievement
This achievement can be faded out in the long term
To leave them helplessly in place
And wanting money, needing exchange
So is money the sole downpressor of truth?
We can watch cash's effect but downstairs live the causes
The causes are true realism, but this is a problem
Money can mask the causes, which in turn could kill cash
So, we try to make a pleasurable living
Masks above death before birth
Back to square one.
