Lyrics

Listen boy, I'll tell you a thing

I'll make you a career in the business I'm in

I'll make you rich, I'll make you a toy

I'll make you turn over into my little boy

Y'see, I'm going somewhere

I don't know what I'm gonna do when, when I get there

You know money's a thing, your only inspiration

And your only meaning

You must think that all I do

Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you

You can fall when I will climb

But I'll be falling over just by having you in my mind

Mend that fight, oh listen to them

Kickin' up a ball inside a Jericho wall

Mend that fight, it's all twisted through them

If you ain't rich then you won't go to the ball

Having mercy and licking up love

And moving through your ocean like I've never had enough

Y'see, you ain't all I want

You're everything and more that I have ever hoped for

You must think that all I do

Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you

You can fall when I will climb

But I'll be falling over just by having you in mind

Mend that fight, oh listen to them

Kickin' up a ball inside a Jericho wall

Mend that fight, it's twisted through them

I'm rich, you ain't, so you won't go to the ball

You won't go to the ball

You won't go to the ball

You won't go, you won't go

You won't go to the ball

You won't go to the ball

You won't go to the ball

You won't go, you won't go

You won't go to the ball

Yeah, well you must think that all I do

Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you

You can fall when I will climb

But I'll be falling over just by having you in my mind

Mend that fight, oh listen to them

Kickin' up a ball outside a Number 10 wall

Mend that fight, it's twisted through them

I'm rich, you ain't, so you won't go to the ball, no more

You won't go to the ball

You won't go to the ball

You won't go, you won't go

You won't go to the ball

You won't go to the ball

You won't go to the ball

You won't go, you won't go

You won't go to the ball

Yeah, if you ain't got nothing, oh nothing

You'll never go there, you'll never go there

Oh, if you ain't got nothing, yeah

You'll never go there, you'll never go there

I tried to make you see

I tell you, I'd had enough

Money was a thing, money was a thing

Money was a thing that I believed in

I tried to make you see

I tell you, I'd had enough

Money was a thing, money was a thing

Money, money, money, money, money, money, money

You know I may (you know I may)

Money was a thing, money was a thing

Money, money, money, money, money, money, money

Money was a thing, money was a thing

Money, money, money, money, money, money, money

You'll never go there

Money was a thing

Money, money, money, money, money, money, money

Money was a thing

Money, money, money, money, money, money, money...

Oh yeah

Money was a thing, money

Money, money, money, money, money, money, money
