You think you can fool the devil with all your fancy things And even your good friends gotta kiss your ring Honey, you ain't nothing but the beating of your heart
You think you can rise above it with a swagger and a smile But you'll be in the same hole in a little while When you stand next to a dead man, God can't tell you apart
You know it's forever, the time that you're dead And it's a long way to heaven, baby, with only your breath
They say time is money, yeah, But honey, money ain't time Money ain't time Money ain't time, time, time, time No, no, no Money ain't time
You think there ain't nothing you can't buy or sell And if anyone gets in your way, you'll send them straight to hell But honey, you ain't got the power to keep from getting old
Well, you look down upon us all Every single one So suave and smug in your tower When the day is done, what you'll never understand Not everybody's digging for gold
You know it's forever, the time that you're dead And it's a long way to heaven, baby, with only your breath
They say time is money, yeah, But honey, money ain't time Money ain't time Money ain't time, time, time, time, time No, no, no Money ain't time
Oh, that's the devil to cut you a break He'll take your money, take all he can take But he won't save you from the fire on the stake
You know it's forever, the time that you're dead And it's a long way to heaven, my baby, with only your breath
They say time is money, yeah, But honey, money ain't time Money ain't time Ooh, money ain't time, time, time, time, yeah Money ain't time
