"Tower"

Sometimes shiny means money and money means to have the means

But at no time is money more than its assigned; it's a currency of the mind

And you may laugh when I say faith, but I never sold my mind

But because we all agree collectively; we believe that we're not blind

So we build the tower a little taller, and a little wider at the base

Now everyone is here and everyone will know

And if everyone knows then everyone believes

What did you believe? Just go with the flow

Not good enough for me and I was growing hungry

So I left the brick and mortar and took up hook and line

And at the water's edge; I pull up something shiny

I laugh and take a look at the tower; I forever left behind.
