 Your stuck in the shoes of another
 Whose focus is money and power
 Its you,  its you
 Your life is surrounded by people
 Afraid of your eyes they glare so deep
 Its you
 The futures your life's big focus
 Today is a day its just a day
 It’s the same
 A day another dollar
 To save is your saving grace today
 Is this you
Life  used to be so  simple, but now  things have changed
The  money has taken my  spirit away, I lost my  soul
 Now the capitals gained  and now  I am a different man
 6
 I now stand with cancer its killing
 Unable to do things by myself
 This is me
 I wish to take twenty years back
 Be poor and be kinder to the world
 It’s a dream
 Life used to be so simple, but now things have changed
 The money has taken my spirit away, I lost my soul
 Now the capitals gained and now I am a different man
 8
 What a waste is money and power
 Everything is not worth this dark void
 Its my heart
 With the present time existing
 Its all been taken away it’s the best thing
 My new life
 Life used to be so simple, but now things have changed
 The money has taken my spirit away, I lost my soul
 Now the capitals gained and now I am a different man

I now stand with cancer its killing
Unable to do things by myself
This is me

I wish to take twenty years back
Be poor and be kinder to the world
It’s a dream

Life used to be so simple, but now things have changed
The money has taken my spirit away, I lost my soul
Now the capitals gained and now I am a different man

8

What a waste is money and power
Everything is not worth this dark void
Its my heart

With the present time existing
Its all been taken away it’s the best thing
My new life

Life used to be so simple, but now things have changed
The money has taken my spirit away, I lost my soul
Now the capitals gained and now I am a different man
