Cash in a Bank Vault

If China saved cash in a bank vault
And promised they'd never buy goods
They could save every buck till eternity passes away
We would never be screwed

Our coins could hold value forever
If "trust" could make quarters hold true
They'd save every dime like its silver and then
Again, we would never be screwed

But there always seems to be excess dimes
More new "junk" coins of revenue, they just mint them
Our inflation just seems to grow
Their worth goes down not so slow, they're no gems

If I had a jar just for loose change
And promises always came true
The jar would be heavy except for the spending
Of when I would tend to buy food

But there always seems to be excess dimes
More new "junk" coins of revenue, they just mint them
Our inflation just seems to grow
Their worth goes down not so slow, they're no gems

Extra emphasis on syllable count to hopefully appease the critics I once "misunderestimated". ;)

Bravo. Good job, good message, and it scans perfectly. Kudos.

Gold and silver are real money, paper is but a promise.
