Money talks

Money 'talks" (intro)
"Money, Money, Money - it must be funny in a rich man's world.." Amelia remembered the lyrics of some songs by Abba quite well (when she was a kid, it was her favorite band), the other tune which she liked singing while taking a bath, came back from a different country and was performed by Pink Floyd, it was "Another Brick in the Wall" She hated being another anonymous part of the social structure governed by those who have power. Amelia understood the meaning of the songs very well, and her interpretation seemed to be deep and very moving. for this young woman, the world of the rich and powerful was strange - she cared for money and her position in the society, but didn't need to have everything at any price. She preferred her idealism, though she felt that most of the newly rich despise her and treat her as a hopeless and helpless creature. What Amelia despised in them, was the greed for money and need for power, they wanted to manipulate others.. and possess more and more. What for?
