01) ₮he moolah is the magic key that opens our society: people will do all you say, ev'rythin'll go your way.
02) €v'rybody worships dough, 'cause we all wanna run the show. Sick'ning greed without restraint, run the tre'dmill till you faint.
03) Дt the cashbox: five, six, sev'n, hurry up to make elev'n; a nickel & two pennies more - grab y'r bags, rush out the door.
04) ₮urn the tube on: more disasters! You're a puppet, they're the masters. If only you could save some green! You'd finally shake that nagging spleen.
05) Дn'mals crushed industrially, a fat cat for the pres'dency. Corrupted idiocr'cy! Ev'rything is vanity.
06) ₱eeps don't care 'bout one another, love comes only from your mother. The rich survive, lean 'n' mean, the darkest cashflows go unseen.
07) ₡ap'talism's quite immoral, but the scent you flaunt is floral; the world's real cold, cruel & vicious, but rare steak is so delicious!
08) ฿read & circ'ses keep you dumb, screens all 'round that make us numb; mindless glutt'ny fills your life, trapped inside this endless strife.
09) ฿uy now! Get rich! Look cool. Feel Great!! Advertrashment's our sad fate. Browse for brand-new stuff online: go, spend it all! You'll be just fine!
10) €arn a livin'! Play it fair! The irony: you'll get nowhere. To chase your dreams you cog away, each & ev'ry liv'long day.
11) ฿e good. Shut up. Just do the chore. Go to work & play the whore. A weekend out, a tiny flat; you'll always be a poor grey rat.
12) ₱ower, water, doctors, dinner, watch your bank account get thinner; "Visa, MasterCard or credit?" Cash flies eaz'ly if you let it.
13) ₮ax! Insurance! Gas! Phone! Rent! Cough up NOW or go get bent! They'll grope, they'll nab, they'll grip, they'll grab, till they've cleared out your whole tab.
14) €xpenses pile up way too high! Your reserves've all run dry! Fear now gets the best of you! Panickin's all you can do...
15) $leepless nights & gloomy days, calculatin' valid ways to crawl out this red pit you're in, & turn your loss 'round to a win.
16) ¥ou'll wonder then, when nothin's left: isn't "profit" merely theft? & If you don't believe that's true, le'me spell it out for you.
17) ₡an't prop up their cunning tricks? Then they'll cling to you like ticks & drain your wallet even more; you'll sink to poverty galore.
18) ¥ou'll be evicted from your space, replaced, erased, a broke disgrace, a homeless bum, a basket case; stray victim of our heartless race.
19) ₫own on the streets is where you'll live, sleep on a bench, beg folks to give their hard-earn'd coin away for naught; your image makes 'em all distraught.
20) ₥add'ning inequalities! A few buffs swim in boodle seas: for them the mass shall plod & sweat, while hope for change is absent yet.

"The social order is contracting to include only economic exchange, technology, the sophisticated and innovative; as it intensifies these sectors, entire zones are being 'disintensified,' becoming reservations, and sometimes not even that: dumping grounds, wastelands, new deserts for the new poor, like the deserts you see forming around nuclear power stations or motorways." - Jean Baudrillard, America

I enjoyed your poem and shared it with a musician friend.
