Money

(album: Money - 1992)

One for the money, two for the show
Three to get ready, now go, kids, go!

I went to school for six years, but I never graduated
'Cause my parents were poor
Now I'm under-educated
Like so many others
All over the nation
'Cause the government is saving on public education

I am thirty, male, call me white trash
Standing in line with my pockets full of cash
It was payday today, and I am going to spend money
On a bottle of booze to bring home for my honey

One for the money, two for the show
Three to get ready, now go, kids, go!

Now go, kids, go!
Now go, kids, go!
Now go, kids, go!
Now go, kids, go!

Motherfucker, you motherfucker
Get away from me
Motherfucker, you motherfucker
Get away from me

My future's all set
I'm a part of a gang
I make money on the street any time I can
I sell drugs to the kids 'cause that's what pays
I make a couple of hundred in just one day

You get
One for the money, two for the show
Three to get ready, now go, kids, go!

Now go, kids, go!
Now go, kids, go!
Now go, kids, go!
Now go, kids, go!

Motherfucker, you motherfucker
Get away from me
Motherfucker, you motherfucker
Get away from me

D'you see my 'vette in the drive?
At home I got a Benz
I like speeding on the highway
Bribe a cop with a grand
D'you need a woman
A bitch
With a bust forty-two?
Just let me know
Got one for you

You get
One for the money, two for the show
Three to get ready, now go, kids, go!
