  1. A Dog Called Money
    A Dog Called Money

    The kids are rolling dice for change
    sitting on the backyard steps calling Money! Money!
    An old guy walking to the store chewing on a cocktail stick
    stops to tell us what is what –

    He says, Everything is staged – that’s how it is –
    people are jus’ paid an’ bought, and I’m tired of it.
    What are you gonna’ do to change it?
    Everything is staged – that’s what’s going on.

    The kids roll their dice again.
    The sun is beating down. I ask the old guy’s name.
    He smiles. The pit bull runs our way –
    the kids call out for him, Money! Money!

    He says, ‘Everything is staged – that’s how it is –
    people are jus’ paid an’ bought, and I’m tired of it.
    What are you gonna’ do to change it?
    It’s all about money – that’s what’s going on.

  2. I’ll Be Waiting
    I’ll Be Waiting

    They swept across the land.
    They did not leave a thing.
    They did not leave a person
    a stone, or a tree.
    They did not leave anything.
    All that’s left is sand.

    I remember father.
    I remember him.
    Every minute I remember.
    Every moment.
    Now I hate everyone –
    before I used to love.

    One day thorns shall grow from their graves.
    When they return
    I’ll be waiting.
    I will not leave
    a person standing.
    All I’ll leave is sand.
    All I’ll leave is sand.
