The Corporate Cost of Life Lyrics By: Leigh Bursey Music By: Laura Dargie We're the best of friends, if friends were enemies Bursary funds, and usury sums, being raped by the greed Trademarks, deposits, and contracts Naive to believe that we'll get money beck The safe is empty, the debt is deep And we are all led like sheep And now it comes, this secret sum Lost in a greed so deep The safe is empty, just look and see Our money belongs to the enemy What we need is a usury-free self-esteem Before you rape away small goals and dreams We sew the seeds of our bankruptcy We need a usury-free self-esteem Stealing back our hopes and dreams Corporations own our homes They own our souls, and own our bones They charge us life upon our lives No where to sit, no where to cry The Bank of Canada, Scotiabank Do they deserve to decide our ranks Lower class, middle, or Republican We fill our banks, we fill our tanks But we neglect where we come from We fill our tanks, we fill our banks But we neglect Where we come from In God we trust, and it costs enough As our dollar disappears But the saddest part, of this humble start Is that most of us are too naive to care *This song was inspired by the community currency movement of Tamworth, Ontario. The song, "The Corporate Cost of Life" appears on The Mantra's second indepently released album, "Under The Overpass: Songs For The Minority."
