Money.
Money...
Lie for it
Spy for it
Kill for it
Die for it
So you call it trust
But I say it's just
In the devil's game
Of greed and lust
They don't care
They'd do me for the money
They don't care
They use me for the money
- (Money lyrics by Michael Jackson)
Michael Jackson wrote these lyrics because he knew that money created monsters out of people whose life revolved around money and getting as much as they could. Money didn't change Michael, it changed the people around him. Michael was very spiritual and caring and he was not a lustful, greedy person because he saw that people would want to use him for money and he didn't want greediness to control another human being.
"The only crazy I was was when I married him. I knew right away I made a mistake. He borrowed someones best suit to get married in and never even told me about it..." - Myrtle (p 39)
Myrtle is venting out her anger to Catherine about her husband. She thought he was a gentlemen who had lots of experience and training with horse breeding, but he didn't. Myrtle is now saying that her husband is not fit to lick her shoe and regrets ever marrying him. What I believe she expected was her husband to have a lot of class and wealth. When he couldn't meet these requirements, she has an affair with Tom, who actually is very wealthy. In my opinion, money makes people not just greedy, but lustful as well, because that's why Myrtle is attracted to Tom. "Money" lyrics by Michael Jackson describe just how money can change people, and how it irrevocably draws people into this lifestyle completely revolved around money.
Do you think Myrtle would leave Tom if he didn't have money?
Why is Tom so boring?
