"So Says I" is a song by The Shins Regarding the lyrics: "Cause this is nothing like we'd ever dreamttell Sir Thomas Moore we've got another failed attempt cause if it makes them money they might just give you life this time," Thomas Moore was an Italian humanist during the renaissance who said that we were born greedy and that if our parents devalued gold and wealth then we would be less selfish and greedy.
