I May Yet Lose My Shirt to the Devil, but My Wife Already Saved My Soul

When you have to be rich
just to be middle class
what do you have to do to be rich?
 
That’s what they call a good question
 
And since you have no choice
but to be rich
the answer will come to you–
just in the form of a question:
If it’s so easy to get in bed with the devil
why is it so hard to get out?
