What's Man Without His Wealth Lyrics

I got a symbol in my driveway

I got a hundred million-dollar friends

I got you a brand new weapon

Let's see how destructive we can be



I got a brand new set of stencils

I been connecting all the dots

I got my plans in a zip-locked bag

Let's see how productive we can be



I got a lightbulb full of anger

I can switch it on and off

Situations they can be so bright

I can't believe how pathetic we can be



I got a brand new set of blueprints

I'm gonna build somebody else

Might cost a little more than money

But what's man without his wealth



I got a phos-florescent (?) secret

Don't you tell nobody else

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

He put this one on his new album and its titled: Symbol in my Driveway. My favorite lyric is I got a "brand new set of blueprints I'm gonna build somebody else Might cost a little more than money But what's man without his wealth" I mean it speaks for itself. NO if and buts about it. America lives today externally. We always look at the external ignoring people's character. The blueprints to me are the ideas people get in their heads taht if they are rich they achieve happiness, which in my opinion is wrong. I talk about this subject forever......lol.......but thats all im gonna say right now.

I think the blueprints are DNA, for cloning. The ridiculousness of the idea, who other than humankind would go to all the trouble of cloning when it's so much simpler to just have a baby the NATURAL way. Only a human with all his wealth could be so stupid. We drive cars, going to all the trouble, when we could just walk. A lightbulb full of anger...maybe because so much of our electricity depends on oil and natural gas, and we fight wars over it. We have enough light from the sun, but we fight wars for a little bulb.

Such a monumental waste of time. That will be what humanity is going to be known for. We work so hard to have what we could have had so easily otherwise.

A very sarcastic song...
