Money
Pink Floyd
Waters

Money, get away.
Get a good job with more pay and you're okay.
Money, it's a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team.

Money, get back.
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, it's a hit.
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit.
I'm in the high-fidelity first class travelling set
And I think I need a Lear jet.

Money, it's a crime.
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away.

"HuHuh! I was in the right!"
"Yes, absolutely in the right!"
"I certainly was in the right!"
"You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for abruising!"
"Yeah!"
"Why does anyone do anything?"
"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!"
"I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2. He was asking
why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out".

Se dice que el dinero saca lo peor de la gente . Si vemos a personas como Kamel Nacif o el difunto Emilio Azcárraga que parecen ser gente horrible y que podría achacarse esa característica al dinero que poseen podríamos estar de acuerdo con Waters en que el dinero es la fuente de todos los males de este mundo , pero quien sabe , tal vez de todos modos 8con dinero y sin dinero), la gente es horrible o tal vez no lo sea , por ejemplo Carlos Slim no me da la impresión de ser una mala persona , a pesar de que evade impuestos y de que a sus empleados no les cumple las promesas con las que los incentiva para que trabajen más y de que cuando sus empleados reclaman el cumplimiento de tales promesas los despide quesque por conflictivos.
En fin , el dinero es importante sea uno socialista o neoliberal ya lo dijeron los Betles en :

Money

The best things in life are free
But you can keep them for the birds and bees
Now gimme money (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh
That's what I want

Money don't get everything it's true
What it don't get I can't use
So gimme money (that's what I want)
A little money (that's what I want)
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh
That's what I want


Yeh gimme money (that's what I want)
A little money (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)
So gimme money (that's what I want)
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh
That's what I want


Your lovin' give me a thrill
But your lovin' don't pay my bills
Now gimme money (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh
That's what I want


Money don't get everything it's true
What I don't get I can't use
So gimme money (that's what I want)
A little money (that's what I want)
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh
That's what I want


Yeh gimme money (that's what I want)
A little money (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)
So gimme money (that's what I want)
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh
That's what I want.

Ah el dinerito, se merece , además de las canciones de allá arriba un buen poema de Don Jaime Sabines :

Cantemos al dinero
con el espíritu de la navidad cristiana.
No hay nada más limpio que el dinero,
ni más generoso, ni más fuerte.
El dinero abre todas las puertas;
es la llave de la vida jocunda,
la vara del milagro,
el instrumento de la resurrección.
Te da lo necesario y lo innecesario
el pan y la alegría.
Si tu mujer está enferma puedes curarla,
si es una bestia puedes pagar para que la maten.
El dinero te lava las manos
de la injusticia y el crimen,
te aparta del trabajo,
te absuelve de vivir.
Puedes ser como eres con el dinero en la bolsa,
el dinero es la libertad.
Si quieres una mujer y otra y otra, cómpralas,
si quieres una isla, cómprala,
si quieres una multitud, cómprala.
(Es el verbo más limpio de la lengua: comprar.)
Yo tengo dinero quiere decir me tengo.
Soy mío y soy tuyo
en este maravilloso mundo sin resistencias.
Dar dinero es dar amor.

¡Aleluya, creyentes,
uníos en la adoración del calumniado becerro de oro
y que las hermosas ubres de su madre nos amamanten!
