Wealth CareCosmo Jarvis

Released: September 26, 2011

Songwriter: Cosmo Jarvis

Producer: Cosmo Jarvis

[Verse]
Well, a leader should lead like a father
And a father would die for his kid
Children are dying for nothing
‘Cept mankind is a capitalist
If you messed up your own situation
Then maybe it’s right you're in fear
But if chance gave you terminal cancer
It’s wrong you get charged to stay here
And at least a neanderthal person
Would die in an ignorant way
But now we know more about our lives
Lives we’d be sick not to save

[Pre-Chorus]
And if having no money’s the problem
Then money’s what everyone needs
Maybe we all should be communists
'Cause maybe we’d get our drugs free

[Chorus]
If you are broken, gonna be all right
All of your stresses gonna wither and die
You have no reason to pace and cry
As long as you close your eyes
Unless you got the cash to keep them wired
Unless you got the cash to keep them wired

[Verse]
And we ain’t obligated to smile
But I hear it’s nice if you do
But it’s nicer to save a man’s life
If you got the knowledge in you
I’m aware of my own contradiction
But there’s minimal duties we owe
To everyone born in bad bodies
How dare you abandon your own?
If I saw a slut on the highway
I’d have to dig it off the road
'Cause I know first hand what a hell it can be
Being nervous and scared on your own
So anyone with a bad liver
Or eyes that can’t even see
Pray you’ll be staying in good health
'Cause you’re screwed if you don’t got money

[Chorus]
If you are broken, gonna be all right
All of your stresses gonna wither and die
You have no reason to pace and cry
As long as you close your eyes
If you are broken, gonna be all right
All of your stresses gonna wither and die
You have no reason to pace and cry
As long as you close your eyes
Unless you got the cash to keep them wired
Unless you got the cash to keep them wired
Unless you got the cash to keep them wired
Unless you got the cash to keep them wired

If you are broken, gonna be all right
All of your stresses gonna wither and die
You have no reason to pace and cry
As long as you close your eyes
As long as you close your eyes
Unless you got the cash to keep them wired

Cosmo Jarvis

Critic, journalist, sometime musician, onetime actor, and full-time Midwesterner Mark Deming provides a discographic-based biography for Cosmo Jarvis:

“Singer, songwriter, and filmmaker Cosmo Jarvis has earned a devoted following for his witty, often satiric tunes about the foibles of relationships and contemporary life, often rooted in personal experience, as well as his own self-produced videos and short subjects that have given his work a global online audience. Harrison Cosmo Krikoryan Jarvis was born on September 1, 1989 in Ridgewood, New Jersey. Jarvis' family relocated to the United Kingdom when he was young, and he grew up in Devon in Southwest England. Jarvis began writing songs when he was only 12 years old, around the same time he began making short films using a VHS video camera. While Jarvis' early videos were little more than documentation of pranks played with his friends, with time he began constructing more complex narratives, and similarly his songs began to evolve, ranging from folk-inspired acoustic guitar pieces and elaborate pop tunes to tongue-in-cheek hip-hop tracks.

At the age of 16, Jarvis quit school to focus on his creative work, and in 2009 he wrote and produced his debut album, an 18-song set called Humasyouhitch/Sonofabitch, which was released by the British indie label Wall of Sound. The album combined Jarvis' observational tunes with a cycle of songs reflecting the emotional turmoil of his parents' stormy relationship. Humasyouhitch/Sonofabitch received enthusiastic notices from the British music press, but it didn’t sell especially well, and Jarvis teamed with 25th Frame for his second release, Is the World Strange or Am I Strange? A track from the album, “Gay Pirates,” became an Internet sensation after Jarvis' low-budget video for the song was endorsed in a Twitter post by actor and author Stephen Fry, and subsequent airplay helped make the second album a commercial success. While continuing to tour, write songs, and record music, Jarvis has also been writing and directing a feature film, provisionally titled The Naughty Room. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi"
