If money be the root of all evil
I want the whole tree;
Roots and all
Fools believe the hype
The meek plants, waters and harvests this tree
It maintains kings,
Lavish lifestyle and private health care
It can make you happy and stress free
And yes; it can buy you love
It provides superior nourishment
The best wines on earth
And those whom sayeth that it’s the root of all evil
Has limited to none of it
It builds nations and nourishes wars
But it’s not the root the of evil
Boredom is the root of all evil
Greedy human nature is the root of all evil.
