This is a video response to 'The Banker' by Craig-James Moncur. Watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=peX4dBEF0Vg
Mr. Moncur's video is an amazing monologue and shows a banker (actor Mike Daviot) airing his views on the matter of the Elite controlling the minds of the masses, where my video and song in a comic, alternative rock way is talking about the average person living in our society feeling no suspicion about the whole situation. Here in Europe and the EU we are now experiencing changes that can only remind us of times before the French Revolution. Innocent people in Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland and other places not only in Europe but in the whole world is suffering, because of the works of a totally corrupted system. We were told that we were all free but we are not really free. Here's a relevant Frank Zappa quote that I love: ''The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way, and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theatre. '' Frank Zappa. And an extract from Moncur's monologue: ''...We control the money that controls your lives
Whilst you worship false idols and wouldn't think twice
Of selling your souls for a place in the sun
These things that won't matter when your time is done...''

lyrics

I want a good car,
I want a fancy car,
I want a blue car, orange car or yellow car
I wanna drive around the city like the king I should have been
To travel everywhere, to show off anywhere
To park it where I want as long I want and not care
To take me everywhere, to show off anywhere
I'm just a shallow guy with nothing else to care about
I want to drive around a fast car
I want to drive around a fast car
I want to drive around a fast car
I want to drive around a fast car
Yeah I so want to feel important, yeah I just want to be important

I want a bigger house, I want a fancy fridge
I want to eat in posh hotels with many swimming pools
I want expensive clothes, I want that rotten cheese,
I want the oldest wine you have Sir I can pay for it
I want to drive around a fast car
I want to drive around a fast car
I want to drive around a fast car
I want to drive around a fast car
Yeah I so want to feel important, yeah I just want to be important
All the things that I need
All the things that I need
All the things that I need
All the things that I need
What about life what about love
What about all the simple things in life,
Family friends, mountains and lakes,
What about all the simple things in life...
I want to recharge, let me breathe once more again... ah...
Yeah I so want to feel important, yeah I just want to be important
