Lyrics
white men posed in white man money
we fold them in our wallets
finger them in our pockets
they rattle to remind us
the chains that they create
this capitalistic society fueled
by their hate
so we pass them along to buy what we need
and then we pass them along to show off our greed
and then we pass them along with increasing speed
and then we kill for oil overseas
just to control the green
so now who's got the most
and what does it mean?
and we're bound to them while we spend each day
filling our piggy bank
wasting our strength
forgetting we prolong injustice
for comfort
we ignore the truth of what these tokens represent
the most dirty thing in this world
patriarchy in print
patriarchy in print
oh no, oh no, oh no.
so we pass them along to buy what we need
and then we pass them along to show off our greed
and then we pass them along with increasing speed
and then we kill for oil overseas
just to control the green
so now who's got the most
and what does it mean?
what does it mean?
the fall of Rome, our inevitable repeat of history
his-story
his-story
his-story
his-story
his-story
his-story
so we pass them along to buy what we need
and then we pass them along to show off our greed
and then we pass them along with increasing speed
and then we kill for oil overseas
just to control the green
so now who's got the most
and what does it mean?
what does it mean?
so now so now who's got the most?
so now who's got the most?
so now who's got the most?
