It’s about Money

A song lyric from Without The Music begging to be sung! 


 It’s about Money

 

You were at the wedding so I am led to believe

And you sat at the table with my good buddy Steve

In polite conversation you asked about me

You said is John the poor old dreamer is he still free

 

Well I ain’t no Mr. Young that’s for sure

But we got one Neal who could want more

See the critic smile Karen it’s so funny

But it ain’t about you it’s about money

 

Well my mind wanders remembering lost friends

So many good things I say that love never ends

Stronger than old Fort Knox is the castle of trust

But every now and then a winner will go bust

 

No I’m no longer the same the good Lord knows

Sometimes in a desert a flower grows

Steve said you looked like a playboy bunny

But it ain’t about you it’s about money

 

Rich corporations controlling art

Mister Mick please rip out your heart

That would satisfy me real real good

Rip out your heart like you said you would

We’d capture the event for all to see

And make it a special on cable t.v.

Jagger and Howdy both a true dummy

But it ain’t about you it’s about money

 

Steve told me you were married and that struck a blow

It’s been nine long years and I’ve got nothing to show

You’re the American dream that we all desire

And me I just got ashes from playing with fire

 

Somewhere some businessman hears my song

If you break all the rules you can’t go wrong

Karen with or without you the dawn’s still sunny

But it ain’t about you it’s about money
