Suction cup hands dancing and taunting
Drawing, drawing me in.
Smiling faces waving and wanting
Drawing, drawing me in.

Greed, O, Greed, how they worship your every desire!
How you devour humanity!
How you slay the world!
Proletariats dancing round office buildings dare not speak your name.
Mighty Greed, I will address you and
Bring you out from behind the concrete and blue
and into the realm of the living.

Snake charmers play their soothing flutes
Drawing, drawing me in.
Transparent men in business suits
Drawing, drawing me in.

Money, O, Money, how you strip our Earth clean of real wealth!
How you devour forests!
How you rape the world!
Stock Brokers sing your praises, exalting you, screaming your name.
Feeble Money, I will denounce you and
Bring you out from behind the corporations in blue
and into the realm of the living.

Grinding death factories go up smoke
Drawing, drawing me in.
Shining televisions tell another joke
Drawing, drawing me in.

Very interesting, and I like the rhythm to it and the repetition of "drawing, drawing me in."  Welcome to PIP!
