Buy u Mark Poppen

 

I want to buy u the things u desire
So u’ll desire me when I want u 2.
I’ll get u a new dress,
The way a lobbyist buys access
(with money in excess),
a sure sign of suck-cess.

U know time is money
Well everything has it’s price
It costs to stay alive, I know
I’m paying with my principles.

The upper limit on how much u want
Is bounded only by “control”
Who will pay for it more dearly –
Me w/money, or u with your soul?
