MUSIC FOR SALE

He was a director at a health insurance company
His annual bonus depends on corporate profits
A woman lies in a hospital bed she suffers from cancer
Her doctor prescribes her an experimental drug
Says the pill is her only chance to stay alive
Her prescription was submitted for insurance approval
The claims director makes the final decision if she lives or dies
It was an easy choice for him to make, money over human life

When given a choice
Between right and wrong
The first question asked
What's in it for me
Why should I care
What do I gain
Every day I'm proven right
Humans never change

He was the founder of a pharmaceutical company
His fortune depended on the value of his stock
A new weight loss drug was nearing market release
Its success would add millions of dollars to him
Clinical trials linked the product to fatal heart attacks
Researchers recommended a second round of testing
A delay in the launch would crash the company's stock price
He released it anyway and thousands of people died

When given a choice
Between right and wrong
The first question asked
What's in it for me
Why should I care
What do I gain
Every day I'm proven right
Humans never change

Humans consider themselves good and moral beings
Every day their actions betray what they believe
When deciding between doing the right thing and making money
Humans always take the money

When given a choice
Between right and wrong
The first question asked
What's in it for me?
Why should I care
What do I gain
Every day I'm proven right
Humans never change
Every day I'm proven right
Humans never change
