Dea Pecuniae Lyrics - Pain Of Salvation

Music, lyric and arrangements by Daniel Gildenlw 

I. Mr. Money 

Miss Mediocraty: 

"Hey there sweetie. Don't I know you? I swear I recognize your face... and those beautiful eyes... You know, they say the eyes are the doorway to ones soul... There's a smile. A little shy, aren't we? Hey, do you wanna get out of here 

Mr. Money: 

Hey Miss Mediocrity, gee, I'm sorry 

You've seen me on TV, I'm Mr. Money 

Now you want someone to hold you 

And call when you're in town 

Someone to calm you and confirm you 

Well, I'm here... 

...to let you down 

'Cause outside these sexy cars 

And far from my trendy bars 

Behind these smiles... 

Miss Mediocraty: 

"...maybe go someplace..." 

Mr. Money: 

...And sunscreen... 

Miss Mediocraty: 

"...more quiet, where we could... you know... talk!" 

Mr. Money: 

...And "Live the Dream!"s... 

Miss Mediocraty: 

"...and get to know each other..." 

Mr. Money: 

I am cold! 

Miss Mediocraty: 

"...no?" 

Mr. Money: 

And mean! 

Miss Mediocraty: 

"How about a ride in that Bentley up front? It's yours isn't it? I'll be a good girl, I promise! 

...or bad... 

...whatever you like!" 

Mr. Money: 

Daily Finance - that's me in the Armani 

Got 

Three Mercedes 350, two Ferraris 

I Could have bought a Third World country 

With the riches that I've spent 

But hey 

All modern economics claim that I deserved 

Every single cent 

And the one time I'm the lesser half 

Is when we split the tab 

So here's to Friends, Family and Liberty, Genuinity, here's to Happiness, Success, Good Press, No Stress... 

But most of all... 

Here's to Me! 

Here's to Me! 

Here's to Me! 

There will be nothing left... 

So... 

Here's to Me! (Dea Pecuniae: Oh baby, baby) 

Here's to Me! (Dea Pecuniae: I'll take care of you) 

Here's to Me! 

There will be nothing left... 

Nothing left... 

...for you 

Dea Pecuniae: 

"If you're looking for fulfillment 

A Kingdom and a Crown 

A Paradise of Free Rides 

I am here... 

...to let you down 

I'll get you the sexy cars 

And a taste of divinity 

A glimpse of the Stars 

Immortality 

But then Vanity 

Will leave you dried and scarred 

(Mr. Money: That's right, oh, give it to me!) 

Here's to Me! (Mr. Money: Oh baby, baby) 

Here's to Me! (Mr. Money: You'll take care of me) 

Here's to Me! 

To me" 

II. Permanere 

Mr. Money: 

But then when it's silent 

And the lights from the bars go down 

I need comforting 

'Cause somewhere there deep inside 

Feelings of loss arise 

And I hate to lose! 

III: I Raise My Glass 

They say it's lonely at the top 

Then I'm as lonely as can be 

But I am not too sorry 

You see, I've chosen this company 

I got myself a winning team 

It's Me, Myself and I 

You bet it's lonely at the top old friends 

And I'm here today to tell you suckers why! 

(Dea Pecuniae!) 

Dea Pecuniae 

Money rules... 

They claim that I get paid for my big Responsibility 

But hey, you know... 

That is just a lame excuse 

For my egocentricity 

They say that we're really the same you and I 

And I truly do agree 

You see 

Just like me 

You live for me 

Until the day you die 

And so I raise my glass to all of you who really believe that I get paid for my big responsibility 

To all of you who suck it up and pay my debts 

To all of you who think that my lifestyle does not affect the environment 

Or the poverty 

Well, maybe not more than marginally anyway 

Good for you! 

And you know what? 

Here's to you... 

And I raise my glass, to those of you who give their piece of the cake for free, for me to throw in the face of democracy 

For those who help making solidarity ideologically untrendy 

And charity individualistically idiotic, unsmart and characteristically bendy 

I salute thee you poor bastards 'cause you all nod while I sit at your table 

So let's raise our glasses one last time, to give you all the greatest recognition and credit of all times - cause after all, let's face it; that's the only "thank you" you will ever get 

So come on now - raise your glasses! 

Here's to YOU 

There will be nothing left - no! 

Nothing left... 

...but money
