The New, Shiny Object

I tell you this, my good old fellah
e'er since the days of Methuselah
they're countless -- stories that are told
about the evil that is gold

born in the heart of supernovae
this shiny object of Jehovah
does simply represent the rare
it's humans who put on its air

and so no doubt in years upcoming
as financing updates its plumbing
the bitcoin will receive this label
it's coveted by Cain and Abel
