So hopefully I'm not risking getting sent to Coolerville but sometimes a guy just has to get something off his keyboard even if it's about a thread more than 72 hours old...
Urban Renewal Redux
How does that work, Joe did inquire, and that’s when the devil started to perspire. The districts, Satan explained, generate millions and you can collect it without doing a thing. Joe put his hands in pockets and found nothing but lint – not a dime to show.
He was broke and living in woe. He thought for a while and decided to give a go. Joe asked the devil what he needed to do. The devil said, “Once you sign here, there’s no going back. I own your eternal soul.”
Chorus: We’re talking about free money. Free money yay yay. Free money. Give Joe some of that free money. YAY YAY.
Joe missed that last part about his soul and signed it all away. The devil smiled big cause Joe was on a one way track and there was no going back. The devil kept his word and Joe was wealthy beyond his dreams. He built his business without blinking twice.
Chorus: We’re talking about free money. Free money yay yay. Free money. I got myself free money.Free money YAY YA Free money.
Then one sad day Joe died and went up to the Pearly gates. The angel in charge was about to let him in when the devil appeared and said that’s a sin cause he belongs to me. Joe looked surprised and wondered how could it be.
The Devil said I don’t know what world you were living in, but you really didn’t think that money was free? It came from those people in your town who paid their taxes. Your life of luxury was on their backs, and now I am going to take it back. Your Momma was right about those free lunches, but now you get to spend eternity talking about free money, YAY YA.
