it does not matter just how much you do
no one will listen to the tales you tell
you wait in vain to see the green turn blue
none of the people can say what is due
nor can they open even thinnest shell
it does not matter just how much you do
the process waits on just one turn of screw
but is delayed for no one rings the bell
you wait in vain to see the green turn blue
the whole account is known to very few
but every person seems to know the smell
it does not matter just how much you do
no gain or profit can to us accrue
and nothing comes to any place you dwell
you wait in vain to see the green turn blue
all of the fools are in love with the new
and cannot see the fall right into hell
it does not matter just how much you do
you wait in vain to see the green turn blue
(C)2008, Fragano Ledgister
