Show me the money, show me the cash, Give me the green, bust open your stash, Gimme a penny, a dollar, a cent – I don’t mind, I don’t care - I just wanna get paid!
All you poor and starved gather round and see For tonight we’re celebrating free economy Guided and enlightened by the invisible hand We’re reaping, sowing and digging our land Rolling in the dough for the sweet embrace of gold For without the warmth of currency a wallet gets cold A famous man once told me in the long run we're dead Live with the present – carpe diem, friend! Now…
Show me the money, Show me the cash, Give me the green – bust open your stash. Give me a penny, a dollar, a cent – I don’t mind, I don’t care - I just wanna get paid!
I wish I had a quarter every time I heard Patience is a virtue - thank god that you’ve got A sun above your head and ground beneath your feet, Air in your pockets that’s all riches you need. This may hold true for someone but I’m a different kind Milk of human kindness in me has long run dry Love just doesn’t pay – mark my words on it, honey I’m doing business for dinero, so show me the money!
Show me the money, Show me the cash, Give me the green – bust open your stash. Give me a penny, a dollar, a cent – I don’t mind, I don’t care - I just wanna get paid!
*The money shot solo* Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, Rags to riches, golden rush lust, Flashing epiphanies, enigmatic words Ancient wisdom, profits and loss Holy scriptures, faith in the arcane Hope for the outer, disdain for mundane. Sensations overwhelming, frightening, scary All this rambling is making me wary
Show me the money – show me it all! And once I’ve seen it you know I’ll want more Show me the cash – oh please let me touch it, This feeling on my fingers makes me hot and excited Can you smell it? Well neither can I, That’s what the romans taught us this insatiable drive Dulls the senses, eclipses sanity, All the best things in life are never sold for free
