Styx

The Styx (Ancient Greek: Στύξ, also meaning "hate" and "detestation") (adjectival form: Stygian, /ˈstɪdʒiən/) is a river in Greek mythology that formed the boundary between Earth and the Underworld (often called Hades which is also the name of this domain's ruler). The rivers Styx, Phlegethon, Acheron, and Cocytus all converge at the center of the underworld on a great marsh, which is also sometimes called the Styx. The important rivers of the underworld are Lethe, Eridanos, and Alpheus. more »

Half penny, two penny, gold Krugerrand
He was exceedingly rich for such a young man
Sad story, old story
Bring out the band
Another divorce just a few hundred grand

Half penny, two penny, back of the queue
Yes mister poor man this means you
Justice for money what can you say
We all know it's the American way

Yes, I'm gonna shake myself loose
Back home across the sea
Where I know that I will be free

Half penny, two penny, back in the States
You just couldn't take that African pace
Yes, Mrs. Cleaver your son's home to stay
We all know it's the American way

Yes, I'm gonna shake myself loose
Back home across the sea
Where I know that I will be free

Come here hey Angelo what's happenin'?
Hey, Stosh, good to see ya
What the hell you doin'?
We're tearing this old building down here
Oh you're kiddin' me, remember when we were kids
And we used to come here every Saturday afternoon to see a cartoon?
Yeah, I remember
Well what's she lost to?
Who knows politicians, taxes it's a disgrace
I'm not surprised, they make me sick
They don't make theaters like this any more

Half penny, two penny, ashes to dust
All almighty dollar says in God we trust
Justice for money how much more can I pay
We all know it's the American Way

Yes, I'm gonna shake myself loose
Back home across the sea
Where I know that I will be free

I want to be free

Yes, I'm gonna shake myself loose
Back home across the sea
Where I know that I will be free

We all want to be free
