An article of faith, like the virgin birth.
Burnt pedals strewn across the wicked earth.
Think shit’s fucked up now? It could get worse.
Who asked you what a dollar’s worth.
A picture spews a thousand words.
Your talk’s as good as a week-old turd.
Blood, sweat, and tears. That shit’s called work.
Just don’t ask me what a dollar’s worth.
A silver tongue. A broken heart.
A golden egg. A sack of farts.
Let the early birds catch a thousand worms.
Have you asked them what a dollar’s worth?
A string of shells. A flock of sheep.
Life’s expensive. Death is free.
It shall be done, no matter how absurd.
Just don’t ask me what a dollar’s worth.
Money swears. The quants won't demur.
A penny saved. Plutus observes.
If greed is good, then God’s a jerk.
Go ask Him what a dollar’s worth.
