What if every word cost a dollar?

I believe that if it were true

People would be more careful

About what they say to you

A dollar a word

One word for one dollar

May not seem like a lot

Until you count all that you holler

Would there be less hate,

If it cost money to say "fuck"?

You'd stick more to what matters

And know when to say "enough".

Just imagine this world

Is your reality today...

Before you speak something cruel- pause.

Is that still what you'd say?
