Made Of Money



There are places made of money
with casinos everywhere
It's a land of milk and honey
with a most seductive air

There are legends made of money
with romantics everywhere
It's a land of milk and honey
with a most quixotic air

There are regimes made of money
with donations everywhere
It's a land of milk and honey
with a most corruptive air

There are widows made of money
with legacies everywhere
It's a land of milk and honey
with a most freeloader air

There are markets made of money
with exchanges everywhere
It's a land of milk and honey
with a most commercial air
