Lay Down Your Earnings

Lift me up

By Kristen Keenon FisherPublished about a year ago • Updated about a year ago • 1 min read

*Lift your dollars High*

Raise up your low addictions

I sell lies, I sell lies

Though you will not see it here

I AM Holier than the DOW....

Betrayed only by mortal pain

I know what a penny is

And I know what I'm worth.

*Lift your dollars High*

If you want insurance for the afterlife

DO MY PROFITS NO HARM

OR I'LL RAISE YOUR PREMIUM

I'm noxious in the rooms you praise me in

Like a gas in the air

Wave me in

They don't really love me THEY pretend

Soulless as the faces they pay me in

*LIFT YOUR DOLLARS HIGH!*
