\nsome gullible sucker
\nwith bread for brains
\nand enough money
\nfor my needs

\nbelieve in something
\nfor nothing,
\nfor it is all I have
\n(or want)
\nto give.<\/p>\n
Let him believe
\nI am his bank
\nI am his road to riches
\nI am his answer
\nto a futile life.<\/p>\n
And let him believe
\nI am as stupid

And let him believe
\nmy appeal to
\nhis greed
\nhis weakness
\nhis utter na\u00efvet\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\ncynicism or paranoia
\nI don’t care
\nif this scheme creates
\ndespair or suicidal thoughts:<\/p>\n
I just want mine
\nand I want it soon.<\/p>\n
Amen.<\/p>\n
