New Song - Ball and Chain

lyrics are still tentative but, the jist of the song is that it's about greed and guilt caused by it. thanks for reading.

I built this house in the hills, drinking until, my glass was killed
A ball and chain that the money became, a dark green stain, not washed away
So we took it and gave it all back, a hefty thick stack, of pointless crap
Mantle pieces, collecting dust, stinking of must, " in god we won't trust."

All the things you cannot buy like
The dignity of knowing you tried
The eerie silence of a mass suicide
of all things that people fell for before

So we took our place in the hills, we drilled drilled, until oil spilled
Filling our cups with riches and wealth, drinking to health, so proud of ourselves
And no one thought to give it back, trading smoking stacks, for snow covered caps
Tired people gave into hype, ate the fatty tripe, off some soldered pipe

because it all boils down to some sick bullshit
The senses imagination we had at age 6
Someone writes a lie and you pass it on
Then miss it And can't remember why
