"It's Only Money" lyrics

When you're fighting off the truth of who you are and where you're from
Let it come
When you're looking for a scapegoat you can blame for all you've done
You're the one
When you're crawling on the floor and you're looking for some more
'Cause you're sure you saw some fall between the cracks
Get your mind out of the sewer
Give up looking for the cure
Face the nation, face the music, face the facts

When you're tripping out and slipping up and sitting all alone
Use the phone
When your partners and your playmates come around and want to play
Walk away
When you're hungry and you're angry and you're lonely and you're tired
And you're really getting ready to explode
Find a friend or find another
Call your wife or call your mother
Break the mirror, break the habit, break the code

If you're going to the market or you're going to the fair
Don't forget to change your clothes, shine your shoes, comb your hair
And be sure to fill your wallet up with extra love and care

'Cause you know it's only money after all
It's only money after all
It's only money after all
It's only life, it's only love

So when you're fighting off the truth of who you are and where you're from
Let it come
And when you're looking for a scapegoat you can blame for all you've done
You're the one
If the fabric needs some mending or the rulebook needs some bending
And the happy ending's far too out of reach
Call the doctor, call the wagon
Kill the hunger, kill the dragon
Hit the wall, hit the book, and hit the beach

If you're gonna try again because they say it can't be done
And you wish that it was over though it's only just begun
And you can't believe how easy to forget it wasn't fun

And don't you know it's only money after all?
It's only money after all
It's only money after all
It's only life, it's only love
It's only money after all
It's only money after all
It's only money after all
It's only life, it's only love
