More Evils (Evils Pt. II)
This is a track on my album. It's actually a remix to the "Evils" song, but I kinda like this more so I'm releasing this song here. I took out the chorus 'cause I didn't really like it. I need some sampling to plug into the large schizm.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They all say money makes the world go ‘round
But it’s the root to all evil, and has the ability to surround
Our senses, and pollute them will corrupt cognitions
Similar to politicians, and their bid for power
We all wanna be millionaires and be empowered
In our capitalistic society, everyone seems avaricious
When it comes to making money, everyone becomes vicious
No rules apply, is our nation even capricious?
Power hungry fiends, money driven machines
No longer human, we’re just bent on making green
We wanna reign supreme, full of self esteem
Until you become a ruler with your own regime
But with the money, it only goes to material goods
From cars to jewelry, to a mansion built on imperial wood
And while some are sitting high, others starve on meager servings
Those that are destitute become eager and preserving
Collecting every penny, waiting for a decent meal
While the opulent just copped some recent appeals
[Verse 2]
Many have been quoted to saying this before
How we got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor
We send troops to nations, saying we’re providing protection
But really, the President’s just hoping for a reelection
How about our education, why’s it continually abysmal?
Is it ‘cause jails get money, that’s why schools are dismal?
Our tax dollars goes to the murderers in prison
Schools become lacking, murder rates have risen
Kids are on the streets, committing heinous acts
These jails become more strenuously packed
And the cycle continues, until the slammers rule schools
And our nation is just infested with incompetent fools
Workin’ at McDonald’s, supposedly they’re “lovin’ it”
An offer for education? Nope, they’re shoving it
They want the temporary money rather than long term goals
They want it now, don’t care about a strong, firm hold
Don’t care about the future, ‘cause they’re living in the present
Until they see their tragedy, then they wanna resent and repent
[Verse 3]
Perpetually seeking knowledge, that’ll be the death for humankind
Developing weapons of mass destruction, how about a superhuman mind?
And in our current industry, it seems like sex really sells
Put a nude woman on a product, watch it fly freely off shelves
Tag innuendo on merchandise, then companies reap in the dough
Promoting sexual thoughts with everything, look how it goes
Using nudity and sex as a marketing ploy
Corporations seem bent to destroy
The morality of this nation, suddenly sex is open
No longer a strong notion, it’s just a blatant promotion
But it’s still sure to draw some flagrant commotions
For young minds are becoming exposed too quickly
To the terrifying horrors, like AIDS and the sickly
But even then it doesn’t guarantee prevention of sins
They’ll still kill, pop pills, or buy rims that spin
Are we all to sit here and witness the downward spiral?
These evil thoughts seep in, infectious and viral
We gotta stand up and right all wrongs
Prolong our existence, and prove we’re strong
