Greed can make you so unhappy
Greed can make your life uneasy...yeah
You want and want and want and want
The more you get the more you want
When you came you brought nothing
When you go you will take nothing
I don't jealous people kankalang
Don't know where they get their kankalang
Don't know if they sell their bangalang to get their kankalang.
Not me, not me, not me, not me!
Sell my soul to gain the world
To wind up in a six foot hole
All I want is plenty happiness
Health and strength and lengthy happiness
Bedtime is my greatest luxury
I don't want my conscience bother me
Not me, not me, oh no no, not me, not me!
Greed is just a kind of sickness...oh yeah, yeah
Greed is just a kind of weakness
You want and want and want and want
You never satisfied
Want and want and want and want
That's the reason why
I don't jealous people kankalang
Don't know where they get their kankalang
Don't know if they sell their bangalang to get their kankalang.
Not me, not me, not, me, not me!
To sell my soul to gain the world
To wind up in a six foot hole
All I want is plenty happiness
Health and strength and lengthy happiness
Bedtime is my greatest luxury
I don't want my conscience bother me.
Not me, not me, not me, not me, oh no no no!
Greed is somewhat like a cancer
Greed - a wicked little gangster
Grab and grab and grab and grab
The more you get the more you grab
The more you grab the more you want
Like your conscience back to front
I don't jealous people kankalang
Don't know where they get their kankalang
Don't know if they sell their bangalang to get their kankalang.
Not me, not me, not, me, not me!
Sell my soul to gain the world
To wind up in a six foot hole
All I want is plenty happiness
Health and strength and lengthy happiness
Bedtime is my greatest luxury
I don't want my conscience bother me.
Not me, not me, not me, not me!

A Note From The Gull
Thank you, Mighty Shadow. Right on target as usual about the important issues.
I knew that this is only the most recent of the very rare revelations about what goes on behind the scenes for the pampered minority in this country who control the purse and puppet strings but it is really frustrating to read about it with the certainty that nothing will change and that the rest of us will continue to live with it.
As I stare into the abyss of this world my hand searches feverishly for a flush lever, and I understand more clearly the role that religion plays in keeping the polite majority in line. We are asked to believe that some higher authority will take care of everything. Christianity, as we practice it, has been a HUGE disappointment to me but maybe that's exactly how it was intended to turn out by those who have organised it and pushed it while continuing to go to bed with Caesar. More and more I wish that the Christ had been more specific when he advised us to, "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's. From where I am standing, Caesar owns EVERYTHING in this town and we continue to buy, and to buy into his corrupt system.
Like Shadow, and probably thanks to my naive Christian upbringing, I have never craved wealth but I have seen what happens when the greed of a few robs many ordinary men and women and children of what is theirs. I do believe that the resources of the land and people should be protected and fairly distributed and this cannot happen when daylight robbery [yes, the kind of criminal activity that does not take place in "hot spots" or within curfew hours] is the order of the day.
"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.
Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.
Mweh ka allay!
