The Love Motive (Versus The Profit Motive) - Song

1.

Money poisons politics;

principles for sale;

double dealing, dirty tricks,

they should all end up in jail.

 

2.

 

Money poisons God as well;

priests who’re on the make;

their gold will melt away in hell;

the rich religion is a fake.

 

Chorus:

 

That’s why I’m working for love;

that’s why i’m working for love;

that’s why i’m working for love;

not for money just for love.

 

Aspiration is a lure;

kills more people than it cures;

the grown up world is immature;

your poverty will keep you pure.

 

That’s why I’m working for love;

that’s why i’m working for love

that’s why i’m working for love;

not for money just for love.

 

3.

 

Money poisons artistry;

rich artists sell their soul;

start working for an industry;

money becomes their only goal.

 

4.

 

Money’s poisoning the world;

our land; our sea; our air;

the swine’s that desecrate the pearl

our planet just don’t care

 

Chorus:

 

That’s why I’m working for love;

that’s why i’m working for love;

that’s why i’m working for love;

not for money just for love.

 

Aspiration is a lure;

kills more people than it cures;

the grown up world is immature;

your poverty will keep you pure.

 

That’s why I’m working for love;

that’s why i’m working for love

that’s why i’m working for love;

not for money just for love.
