Money Became an Abstract

05/09/08

the U.S. pulled the dollar from the gold standard

and money
became an abstract

so we don’t know any better
and we overextend ourselves

all of my life
money has been an abstract
and everything’s now a guessing game

and now we don’t even know
what’s around the corner anymore
