Analysis of Quick To Change
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
The mind is quick to change.
Quick to change.
The mind is quick to change.
When money is involved to do it.
And seen,
From a distance swaggering bling.
Gleaming brighter than almost everything.
And money to have always finds,
It can change a mind often.
And most of the time.
Quick the mind.
(Quick the mind)
Will be changed.
(Will be changed)
When appears to do it.
Quick are the minds.
(Quick the minds)
Will be changed.
(CHANGED)
When that money appears to do it.
And money to have always,
Seems to find....
It can blind.
Even the sunshine,
Right out of people's minds.
To addict,
Those drugged on it.
And will doing anything for the fix.
Quick are the minds.
(Quick the minds)
To change.
(CHANGE)
When that money as if honey.
Appears to do it!
