Barry Lawton - How Much Is Enough

How much money is enough
The footballer lamented lacing his boots up
How many endorsements must it take
To match the thrill of a winning goal in the arms of your teammates
Do you still know the boy with scruffy boots in the park
Commentating on himself juggling footballs up till dark

How much money is enough
The urban hero advertising cars not looking street not looking tough
How much whoring can one soul stand
The mirror reflects a shadow onto where the face would glance
Come the flash of the light through the all seeing lense
Can you look yourself in the eye sleep easy in your bed

Telling all who listen when we he grew up he had it tough
Money has got you where you wanted but how much is enough

How much power is enough
The wretched politician educated and corrupt
How much principle is soldFrom rebellion on the benches to ministerial jags and rolls
Fawning to corporates preparing whats to come
Directorships and boats anchored in the sun
