Dirty Money

Hey, that's Dirty Money (Dirty Money)

Hey, Hey., that's Dirty Money (Dirty Money)

It's the secret recipe that runs the whole country

Everybody's playing with a little dirty money

It's a little piece of paper that's worth its weight in Gold

Sometimes you measure up a man by how much that he holds

Sometimes it pays the mortgage, sometimes it buys you clothes

Sometimes it buys the moisturizer right upon your nose

But everyone knows that there's work to be done

So you hustle hard until you get old

The bossman calls you hungry

So you chase it like a junkie

And you inadvertently sell your soul

Hey, that's Dirty Money (Dirty Money)

Hey, Hey., that's Dirty Money (Dirty Money)

You call it like it is, it's a rigged game, honey

Everybody's playing with a little Dirty Money (Dirty Money)

On my way to Carolina I saw a dozen billboards

It seems like no one's spending advertising money like the Lord

He says be model christians to reach them pearly gates

Gotta get to church on Sundays and fill up them offering plates

But it occurred to me, this Holy Industry

Never spent a dollar fixing these roads

We've all been Metho-dissed just to make some list

That the filthy rich preacher only holds

Hey, that's Dirty Money (Dirty Money)

Hey, Hey., that's Dirty Money (Dirty Money)

You might think that you're all high stakes playing Gin Rummy

Everybody's playing with a little dirty money

I don't need documentaries

Or scientific inquiries

To know who is holding all the cards

These crooked institutions are like pimps to prostitution

You're better off burying you wealth in your yard

Hey, Hey that's Dirty Money (Dirty Money)

Hey, Hey, that's Dirty Money (Dirty Money)

You might think that you're all gangster like Nicky Boy and Sonny

You're just a fool from exit 9 who's chasing Dirty Money

Hey, that's Dirty Money (Dirty Money)

Hey, Hey, that's Dirty Money (Dirty Money)

If you raise enough of it, they'll let you run the whole country

Everybody's playing with a little dirty money
