This song turned out cooler than I’d thought it would.  I used a bass guitar and an effect (can’t recall its name at present) for the lead after the second verse.  Just a point of curiosity.

Perception is everything.  Seriously.  Why does capital have value?  Because people are willing to believe it to be the case.  But where does it all come from — really?  There’s no Gold or Silver Standard.  I have some explaining to do about the ending of this song.  I used currencies from around the world in constructing the final two choruses (is that a word, choruses?).  I’ll quote the choruses and put in parentheses what the country of origin is for the currency mentioned.  K.

“I think of the millions of dollars (US) and people and Pesos (Mexico) and Rupees (India) and Francs (Morocco among other places) and Lira (Turkey) and Krones (Sweden) and Pounds (UK); Euros (EU), Makuta (Zaire) and Ruples (Russia) and Ducats (Maldova), and Yen (Japan).”

…”I think of the millions of dollars (US) and people and Pesos and Rupees and Guilders (Suriname) and Shillings (Kenya), and Rands (S. Africa) and Wons (Korea); Escudos (Chile), Guarani (Paraguay), Xu (Viet Nam), Baht (Thailand), Fen (China) and Yen…”
