"Money" lyrics
"Money"
She said
I'm young enough
I'm old enough
To paint a smile
I tasted heaven and hell
Heaven stay awhile
A good friend is rare find
Their straight talk can ease your mind
A good pimps gonna rob you blind
Money money money
I feel like a pawn in my own world
I found the system and I lost the pearl
It's breaking me down
Well, you won't wake you don't shake
You just make the sound
Go round and round and round and round
Bleed a little
Bleed a little
Bleed a little
Bleed a little
Til you freedom calls you
Somewhere out
Children laugh
Like meteors
Rolling down the grass
Mothers pull the night time in
Calling their children
With spoons in the wind
Calling their children
With spoons in the wind
Calling their children
With spoons in the wind
But not for me
She said
I'm young enough
I'm old enough
In the city machine
Where industries
Fill the fish
Full of mercury
(It's tax free)
She said
My struggle hurt
But it turned me on
And when the revolution came
The chain was gone
On my feet
To the sound of my heartbeat
Money money money
Do you feel like a pawn
In your own world?
You found the system
And you lost the pearl
Like leaves coming down
You've got to wake, shake
Make your vibe go round and round and round and round
Bleed a little
Bleed a little
Bleed a little
Bleed a little
Bleed a little
Bleed a little
Bleed a little
Bleed a little

The Cyrkle - "The Visit (She Was Here)" She was here with me today
Walking softly holding hands
And I thought I heard her say
She loved me
As we walked I felt her eyes
Reaching deeply into mine
And I thought I heard her sigh
She loved me...
Joan Armatrading - "Barefoot And Pregnant" So many ladies love you
With the innocence of a child
Child who believes in God
You keep 'em in luxury
But it's a luxury in the dark
You walk around
With a smile upon your face
But there's...
Labelle - "Moon Shadow" Yes, I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
And if I ever lose my hands
Lose my plough, lose my land
Oh if I ever lose...
The Roches - "Losing True" I'm losin' you
Fading from view
Aging and aching and raging and faking I'm
Losin' you
Losin' true
Last time I saw you I wanted to paw you
Not to destroy you now I just annoy you I'm
Losin' too...
