Текст песни Serpentine Cycle Of Money (Danny Schmidt) с переводом

I turned over a stone today

A stone I guess I’d never turned

And there beneath the bones and clay

A billion dollars brightly burned

So I went and stuffed my pockets full

But people grow as pockets do

Fat and free the money flowed

As silver shines, I got fat too

Hey, hey. .. hey, hey. .

Hey hey, hey-hey hey hey-hey. .

A penny for your thoughts, my friend

A dime and then a dollar too

How ‘bout a gold medallion then?

Your deepest thoughts should shine right through

It’s true you can’t buy love, my dear

But money sure can lavish love

So wash the sheets in baby tears

And paint the grapes with virgin’s blood

Hey, hey. .. hey, hey. .

Hey hey, hey-hey hey hey-hey. .

There was nothing I could dream to have

Since dreams could not perform at prime

‘Til dreams became a lonely mistress

Desire, a neglected wife

So I went back to the stone again

And I sat down on my gluttony

And I begged the forest floor to fall

Instead the forest rose to sing:

Give it back. .. give it back. .

Give it back. .. it all ain’t all that. .

So now I turn each stone I find

And plant pennies like they’re dreams or seeds

And while hunger pulls the plow just fine

Starvation, she’s a butchered beast

The school rooms glow like palace halls

And parks, like terraced garden grounds

And neighbors covet only calls

And all the Earth is holy ground

Give back. .. give back. .

Give back. .. it’s all for all that. .

Give back. .. give back. .

Give back. .. it’s all for all that. .

Give back. .. give back. .

Give back. .. it’s all for all and all and all

And all and all and all and all. .
