The economy was<\/strong>

\nHaving change<\/strong>

\nAnd cell a-steam<\/strong>
\nShowering down<\/strong>
\nHour earthly reign<\/strong>
\nIn the scheme of things<\/strong>
\nIn a call amity<\/strong>

\nHaving one<\/strong>

\nMother earth’s<\/strong>
\nPursed lips<\/strong>
\nAt the outpouring cache<\/strong>
\nA river bed<\/strong>
\nTried to the bone<\/strong>
\nOf no use<\/strong>
\nPointing fingers<\/strong>
\nAs more than<\/strong>
\nPutting up<\/strong>
\nWith money where mouth is<\/strong>

\nEver food agin<\/strong>
\nMouthing a mint<\/strong>

\nSow un-full<\/strong>
\nFilling a void<\/strong>

\nWon planet<\/strong>
