The Death of Money

Remember in my last post I said I worked on some music in Leeds after the cancelled tutorial at university...Well Ken my producer whipped up a funky tune with a heavy bass line so we searched our heads for an idea to write about. An hour later we had no idea and were just about to call it a day when I realised I did not have any money on me to get something to eat. So I thought...If I was dying and needed to eat and had no money what would I do? So there! An idea was birthed for a song...Think about it; this is quite a difficult topic to write about unless you are an overly philosophical person. Anyway, I kinda started it and came up with these words...but it sounds more like a poem and it isn’t jovial enough for a funky tune...its serious man!!?? If you think it is a concept worth developing then you can come up with some ideas and email me them to mailto:theislandmedic@gmail.com

any way...here it is:

What if there wasn't any money in this world?
Love of money is root of all evil, as we see in today's politics
would politicians still take bread from our plate?
or will they become thieves & criminals?
Everyone living on the even ground,
even the Queen will have to work for her meals.
Mindless society will be no more, materialism will fall,
food will become the diamonds of today.
