Money



Isn't it funny
That life revolves around money

There's no time to appreciate life
And less money means more strife

Bills are ever increasing
And tension doesn't seem to be releasing

Sitting in the office for some pay
Staring out the window at the sunny day

Waiting for the day to end
But I've got way too many emails to send

9 to 5 all week long
All work and no play just feels wrong

Second income still isn't enough
And the rising cost of food is plain rough

Money makes the world go round
But life goes by without making a sound

Life is one hectic show
So back to work I go
