For The Love Of Money

(album: Swing To The Right - 1982)

Money, money, money, money...

Some people really need it, oh well
Some people got to have it in vain
Listen here y'all, do things, do things
Do things, bad things with it, well
So you will do things, do things
Do things, good things with it
Talk about cash money, dollar bills, y'all

(For the love of money)
People will steal from their mother
(For the love of money)
People will rob their own brother
(For the love of money)
People can't even walk the street
Because they never know who in the world they gotta beat
For that lean, mean, mean green

(For the love of money)
People will lie, Lord they will cheat
(For the love of money)
People don't care who they hurt or beat
(For the love of money)
A woman will sell her precious body
For a small piece of paper it carries a lot of weight
Call it lean, mean, mean green

Almighty dollar God I...
I know money is the root of all evil
Do funny things to some people
Give me a nickel, brother can you spare a dime?
Money can drive some people out of their minds

(For the love of money)
(For the love of money)
Got to have it, I really need it
(For the love of money)
How many things have I heard you say?
(For the love of money)
Got to have it, so people really need it
(For the love of money)
How many things have I heard you say?
(For the love of money)
Lay down, lay down
(For the love of money)
Lay down a woman will lay down
(For the love of money)
All for the love of money
(For the love of money)
Don't let, don't let, don't let money rule you
(For the love of money)
Money can change people sometimes
(For the love of money)
Don't let, don't let, don't let money fool you
(For the love of money)
Money can fool people sometimes
(For the love of money)
(For the love of money)
(For the love of money)
