Monetary Value

from Ra's al Ghul by Frank John James

/

lyrics

(Sample)
"The only thing that the human species can do perfectly, it's so easy for anything that is a human organism to just cause destruction, because we have this ability to, invent destructive things."

(Verse 1)
So you developed this concept of money to determine
Other people's value of life, was lower than yours
You gave 'em chores cuz you sustained 'em, you claimed it at least
Became the beast and declared, "You will now be afraid of me."
You gave 'em money, a fraction of their value
When you charged 'em for some services you say because you had to
They didn't have shit, so now they owe you,
Perfect opportunity to charge interest too
And now the many gotta worry bout their payments
They can't worry bout the world and sustaining its maintenance
Hypnosis not upfront, subliminal
Scabs to the point an opposition look pitiful
Minimal success, what did they expect
When they entered negotiations with you for respect
You wanna hurt 'em? cut off they cash flow
Put 'em all on trial or to death if they can't go

(Sample)
"And on a scale that no animal or other organism would be able to do. We can project the worst part of our nature over such vast areas...we have the ability to do that."

(Verse 2)
What is a soldier if he don't know what he fightin' for?
I would rather die than never know what I'm dyin' for
Leaders fightin' for the sake of startin' scuffles
But ya too busy to care with your TV and your Ruffles
I didn't see it for a few hundred years only heard of it
It wasn't 'til England, that I got a word of it
They been workin' it, suckin us dry
They didn't infiltrate they built it over time, rather a lie
You start to wonder why we're so slow to advance
When we start to share our knowledge they would make it so we can't
That is unless it helps their plan or is inevitable,
Look at the medical they want us dead or in bed and them paid in full
Made a fool every time we accept their side of the story
Meanwhile our concerns they're ignoring
It's simple, stop making excuses for poor decisions
Otherwise I'm the surgeon and I'm forced to make the incision.

(Sample)
"I should think that if we ever connected with a superior intelligence someplace, he would probably do the rest of the universe a favor by blotting out all human life on this planet as quickly as possible before we get SO skillful, that we can spread the bad things that we do to other environments.

"So maybe the best thing IS to find these people, you know, cuz we'll spend a lot of money in it, we'll go out there and we'll get the superior intelligence and think that he's going to help us out and he will, just by blowing us up."
