Rough draft of an idea about hoarding money

Lyrics:
Fall into the edge of all the rubies and the dimes
Now that I am older than you I've become so wise
Fall into the edge of all the things that glow and shine
Fall into the edge of all the rubies and the dimes

Rubies And Dimes

Rotating Axis is a song I wrote 3 years ago. The previous version (available on this Soundcloud) has horrendous audio quality because I didn't know much about recording. This version is re-recorded, and much improved - although it's still a pre-production demo in my mind. I intend to bring it to a studio in the near future.

The song was inspired by a worker revolt that happened in an Indian Apple facility during the pandemic, which I read about in the news. Apple had reportedly not paid those workers for months, blamed the pandemic for it, and when the current workers were finally offered pay after months of free labor, it was less than their agreed upon rate. The workers began destroying the factory out of desperation. I had this image of these poor workers being like hamsters on a a never-ending, spinning wheel, generating endless power (money) for someone who couldn't care less about them as individuals.

Lyrics:
You got all the money you could want 
and you could buy up everything 
you got every penny for a pound 
and you've got greed

We... we won't keep spinning on this Rotating Axis 
We won't keep spinning
You are buying up the whole damn world 
and you've got everything you need 
A big house, many fancy, shiny yachts 
We've got needs

We... we won't keep spinning on this 
Rotating Axis 
We won't keep spinning

Buy up everything 
You gotta buy up everything

We... we won't keep spinning on this Rotating Axis 
We won't keep spinning

Rotating Axis

A work in progress!  I'll keep updating the track as I add more to it!  I play a lot of different instruments on this.
