Name: Gimme Money
Duration: P00H04M04S
Description: This song was a writing assignment, written on a prompt. The writing prompt was "flashlight", but I went with the British term, "torch". I was writing a song a week at that point, which was really pushing my limits. This song never would have been born had it not been under pressure. I am so glad I did! I had no idea I had this in me.

lyrics

GIMME MONEY
words/music ©2023 Lisa Markley

keep 'em angry keep 'em dumb
they're comin' for your guns
snowflake on the run
just havin' a little fun
I am their light their Number One
GIMME MONEY

fine people on both sides
I ignite they divide
east is west day is night
it's true, repeat the lie
I am the best, you be polite
GIMME MONEY

(chorus)
it's all a shell game, love when they yell my name
strokin' the flame, keep the crowd burnin' hey hey
they let you when you're famous, I'm really blameless
GIMME MONEY

pledge now before it's too late
you'll regret it if you wait
a storm is comin' I would hate
for you to miss it LIBERATE!
tiki torch take the bait
GIMME MONEY

it's all a shell game...
