Gambit - Shekel Shackles [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook]
This is more important than life
This is more important than the planet
This is more important than you
More important than me, this is money
Money is God
Money's everything you'll ever need
Money is what you want

[Verse 1]
Everybody wants to get rich, and everybody's not
Spare a conglomerate of billionaires inheriting their parents' profits
Objects, heirlooms and apparently invariable nonsense
Carelessly stomping upon our wallets and calling it progress
The conquest could turn even the most innocent to monstrous
The sophisticated to the jaded and pompous
Every angel that God sends will be turned away
Cause it's impossible to spend these dollar bills at heaven's gates

[Hook]
It's more important than life
More important than the planet
More important than food
More important than drink, this is money
Money is God
Money's everything we'll ever need
Money is what we want

[Verse 2]
Even if it's at the cost of the planet and its inhabitants
I'll ransack their oil with the grandest mechanic gadgets and
Climb right to the top on the faces of those beneath me
So when I say that money can't buy happiness you won't believe me
It's easy being rich if you don't mind others being poor
What do we need 'em for? Just let 'em bleed in the street galore
I brilliantly store billions in foreign depositories
Positively sure it isn't enough, believing that I'm in need of more
All I want to do is keep the people divided
Keeping 'em fighting over which item they buy is the shiniest
So my dynasty never dies and I could live the rest of my life
Spending my money while you're spending all your time for it

[Verse 3]
I'm working fifty hours a week
About to weep because all I can fucking think about is sleep
I'm not allowed to breathe, talk or piss without my boss's permission
Exhausted, receiving naught but this awful pittance of a salary
At least my parents are proud that I sold my happiness
And narrowed down my passions for the sake of paying out taxes
The Earth hurtles fervently across the galaxy's axis
And here I am, practically wiping these people's asses
All for the purposes of earning cash and serving the masses
But all these burning gasses are causing our planet to turn into ashes
And all I can do is observe passively
While asking please for scraps to eat as if I'm trash deserving of lashes
And I remember back in school
I reached the conclusion discretely we had all been fooled
I demanded my teacher to tell me why we were sold a lie
And he smiled at me as he told me why

[Verse 4]
Because money is life, money comes from the planet
Money is more important than your friends and family dammit
Money is heaven, money's more important than God
Money is everything you'll ever be, money is what you're not
Money is love, hate, lust, envy and war
In fact, money's the only thing in this life worth living for
Money's a gift and a privilege, so don't take it for granted
Because money's the reason humanity's raping this planet
