Makin' Fun Of Money

(album: Riskin' It All - 1991)

Yeah, see the milk's in the fridge
And it's turning into cheese
If I'm so smart; how come I ain't rich?
No one knows'n'no one sees
My moral compass went out of course
And I ran aground
You gotta watch how you get
But what the hell what the heck
I mean, I wrote out the check
It ain't the money you got
No, it's the money you spend
It ain't funny making fun of money
See it's already a mess
It ain't funny making fun of money
The Visa's, Diner's'n'Master, Express

The cold hand of currency
Grips my heart at night
Right now it's raining unpaid bills
From an unknown height
Though the story ain't that funny
There was once when I had money
I act like I got it
Pretend I know
It's minus 500,000
It ain't the money you got
No, it's the money you spend
It ain't funny making fun of money
See, it's already a mess
It ain't funny making fun of money
The Visa's, Diner's'n'Master, X-press

Making fun o' money
It's the D.A.D.'n' the I.R.S.
Yeah, I ain't got no hot water
And the cold's running thin
I keep conversations from a public phone
In this place I call home; I'm living in
Making fun of money
¥ $'N'all
Making fun of money
All rolled up in a ball
Making fun of money
And with a trembling hand
Making fun of money
I pay what I can
It ain't funny making fun of money
No, it's already a mess
It ain't funny making fun of money
The Visa's, Diner's'n'Master, X-press
It ain't funny making fun of money
The D.A.D.'n'the I.R.S
It ain't funny making fun of money
Yeah, it's already a mess
It ain't funny making fun of money
No'n'I know; 'cause I tried it!?
It ain't funny making fun of money
It ain't funny no
It ain't funny making fun of money
I'm way behind
It ain't funny making fun of money
It ain't funny making fun of money
