Money
(专辑: The Dark Side Of The Moon Redux - 2023)
Money, get away You get a
good job with more pay, and you're okay Money, it's a
gas Grab that cash with both hands and make a
stash New car, caviar, four-star daydream Think I'll buy me a
football team Money, get back I'm alright, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack Money, it's a
hit Don't give me that do-goody-good bullshit I'm in the
high-fidelity first class traveling set And I
think I
need a
lear jet Lear jet Welcome to hell I'm sorry, I'll read that again Welcome to rooftops I'm sorry, I'll read that again Welcome to the
starlight room I'm sorry, I'll read that again Welcome to the
underworld And now, for tonight's main event The
heavyweight Close swaddled in the
cloying folds of fat The
heavyweight, squats freak fearful on his stool And through toad lids he squints his vision of the
world The
gray parade of waiters and trade is retinue of course Seconds thirds and fourths, clean tick-like to his skin The
bell sounds in the
corner of the
ring A
fresh contender for his crown Puts out his pale hand to shake before the
bout Champion blinks his sticky tongue swallowing greed With cuprous speed snakes out It's lights out for the
kid, his grace and wit In that split second plucked sucked dissolved Reduced petty bulk digested shit The
champ well satisfied adjusts his sumo backside on the
stool Draws 'round his clock breaks wind out loud The
crowd howls it's approval But in the
shadow of the
Ring with cloven hoof and a
crooked grin The
devil pats the
briefcase that holds the
Faustian Pact He smiles, enjoys his little joke Because he knows the
Champion's cloak is but a
shroud in fact Money, it's a
crime Share it fairly, but don't take a
slice of my pie Money, so they say Is the
root of all evil today But if you ask for a
rise, it's no surprise That they're giving none away, away Giving none away Giving none away How much you giving away? Uh None
