Money To Kill (Divided Root) (1988) by Mountain Songs

MONEY TO KILL (Divided Root)
Composer: Terry Reeves, Written: September 1985, Recorded: Summer1988 Re-mastered May 2014 by Adrian Heathcote.

Recorded in a couple of hours at the end of a long day in Bri’s home studio, this track drips atmosphere and the lyrics, as many of you have observed, seem pointedly topical. We owe a great debt of thanks to Adrian Heathcote, who re-mastered the track for us in May 2014. He's an absolute genius, as you can hear for yourself at: www.reverbnation.com/adrianheathcote

Got no money for education
Got no money for job creation
Got no money for old age pensions
Got no money, no compensations

But we’ve got money to kill
Lots and lots and lots and lots of money

Got no money to stop pollution
Got no money to find solutions
Got no money for medication
Got no money nor inclination

But we’ve got money to kill
Lots and lots and lots and lots of money

But the die is cast, living it can’t last
Flying missiles, killing exiles, exploding humans seeking a home
Piercing screeches, reaching inches, dying voices, heading nowhere
Heading nowhere, heading nowhere nowhere
Heading heading nowhere nowhere nowhere
Heading heading nowhere nowhere nowhere nowhere nowhere nowhere nowhere nowhere nowhere

Got no money for other nation
Got no money to end starvation
Got no money for race relations
Got no money, just complications

And lots of money to kill
Lots and lots and lots and lots of money

Heading nowhere nowhere
Heading heading nowhere
Nowhere nowhere nowhere nowhere nowhere nowhere nowhere nowhere nowhere...
