You switch between poor and rich
But which is which? Your soul is a glitch.
Wealth never made you rich
It only made you a bitch
Poverty never made you a witch
It simply left you in a stitch
Being poor and being rich
Have both given you an itch
Scratch the surface, it is a ditch
Being poor and being rich
Are two sides off the middle pitch
Scratch the sides, run into a hitch
Only Health is wealth, that’s the glitch.
