Money's Gone.mp3
(3.41M MP3)

rent was past due
run out of food
the street was the only answer
pay wasn't great
like minimum wage
money with consequences
fifteen sweaty minutes then it's over
quick deposit, fifty simple dollars

now she carries a seed, a question inside
alone in this half-shit housing project
she measures her need against what she can provide
and she comes to a tough decision
can she accept this life
can she reject this life inside of her

leaky faucet, broken window, piles of laundry in the living room
heavy secret in the closet, what the hell is she supposed to do?
empty stomach, empty pocket, who will help her when the money's gone?

mother dear, can you hear me calling out your name
in your heartbeat, flowing in your veins

leaky faucet, broken window, piles of laundry in the living room
heavy secret in the closet, what the hell is she supposed to do?
empty stomach, empty pocket, who will help her when the money's gone?
