Newsreel: Filthy Rich

Filthy Rich

Seems like everybody’s got a price,

I wonder how they sleep at night

immense wealth and large financial portfolios either inherited and/or achieved, usually through toil and diligence

RICH AMERICANS SNAP UP IRISH CASTLES FOR LOVE AND DISCOUNTS

One for the money, two for the show,

now clap your hands if you got a bank roll

the richer and more educated a person was,

the more that he thought the world is just

   BEING WEALTHY ISN’T A SIN, BUT…

It’s good to live expensive you know it

But my knees got weak, intensive

         WEALTH OF THE WORLD’S BILLIONAIRES DOUBLE SINCE 2009

Group 5 Newsreel: Foolish Pride

Foolish Pride

It was the pride in me that was drivin’ me

  At the Grammy’s I said “I inspired me”

TOO MANY SORRY EXCUSES FOR AN APOLOGY

Well foolish pride has a lot of things to say

  You got foolish pride.. you got tooth decay

leaders “apologize” but clearly don’t mean it because they don’t think they should be apologizing in the first place. They apologize to gain some good will from the public

Give up on your pride, the moment is gone

THE POWER OF TWO INCUMBENT PARTIES WILL BE TESTED AT THE POLLS

we’re definitely not the Games tavountes but we came here to represent our country with pride
