I Hate Mo-ney (Front-Porch Revival)
The back-porch bluegrass cut of our anti-mammon altar-call — banjo, fiddle, and a whole country church hollering "you can't serve two masters." Same gospel heart as the action-anime original (also free on our channel): mammon promises the world and leaves the soul cold, but there's a King who never sold and never looked away; He paid the price we could not pay and tore the idol's grip away. Honest work, open hands, one Master — landing, like all our songs, on Jesus Christ.

I Hate Mo-ney (Front-Porch Revival) — Lyrics
Chant
I — HATE — MONEY! I — HATE — MONEY!
Verse 1
They sold the sky, they bought the rain, they put a price on every name. They traded love for something cold — the whole world bowing down to gold. Look around — tell me you can't see — this world has lost its mind to money.
Chant Break
DOWN WITH MONEY! The world's gone mad! The world's gone mad! Get off the wrong track — turn around — come back!
Pre-Chorus
But there's a light that's breaking through the gray, there's a King who never sold, who never looked away — He's calling in the chaos, He's reaching through the rain: "Come home, oh weary wretch — let Me break that chain."
Chorus
I pledge my heart to Jesus — not to the gold that never frees us! One Master, one King, one Lord — and that's the end — I hate the love of money, and I love the Savior — Amen! I — HATE — MONEY! (I love the King!)
Verse 2
Shame on the love that bows to gold, that sells the soul and leaves it cold — and no forced taking, no idle eating, communism's not worth repeating — we work, we give, we lay at His feet, the only King makes the broken complete.
Verse 2 (the rescue)
I was that man, I wore that chain, I served a god of greed and gain — but He paid the price I could not pay, and tore the idol's grip away.
Bridge
You cannot serve two masters… you'll love the one and hate the other. So which one? GOD — NOT — MONEY! Money we despise — the Lord we glorify!
Bible verse · Little lesson
A verse to hide in your heart
“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”
Little lesson for little hearts
Jesus said we cannot serve both God and money (Matthew 6:24), and the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil (1 Timothy 6:10) — it promises freedom and leaves the heart cold. But this song is not about hating the poor, and it is not about "forced taking" or "idle eating": the Bible says if anyone will not work, neither should he eat (2 Thessalonians 3:10), and that we work with our hands so we have something to share (Ephesians 4:28). The rescue is Jesus — He paid the price we could not pay and breaks the chain of greed, just like the man He set free in Mark 5. So we keep our lives free from the love of money (Hebrews 13:5), work hard, give freely, lay it all at His feet, and love the King.
