A National Treasure...

"A penny for your thoughts?"
This mind generates one million dollars
By the daily coffers of its copper charged. 

El Dorado seized bouillon 
Crushing Colossus with Rhodes. 
As Brittania seduces Maharaja wallets 
While provincial increase is levied 
With the ascension of dreams 
Escrowed with a kiss for the crown. 

To make a statement 
We must first invest in a National Bank 
As Franklin carries more weight 
Saving private thoughts 
In the form of bonds.

These thoughts cut copper by the ton
Cart cataloging coins 
While Jackson sends shooters to the bank
And it'll take a few Cleveland's 
To get the Lincolns rolling 
Toward laying those investments in state 
While another Hamilton calls for that old Washington dig. 

These pounds of flesh made franc, 
Turning Deutsch dollars into rupals 
Rolling rupees into bullets, to be charged by the gun.
Hoping to turn Yang to Yen.

Gaining entrance to heaven, 
Comes with a surcharge.
As more interest is put on you... 

No Monthly Midas Touch
Can forgive a debt
That goes into foreclosure by an opinion
While each sentence distributes the cost.

If it's a penny for your thoughts, 
Be integral of your worth
Only Lincolns get sent to the cemetery 
To feed what old George planted first.
 If opinions are an asset
Abraham'll take 'em quick,
'Cause if you ever laid a hand on a god
Wisdom with haste is sure to spend it.

-Got 'em?
