Make Music Not Money

Paul Simon says we're living in an anti-art age Craving just the maximum wage The pissers and moaners and the trippers and stoners Are all chasing paper today Make music, not money Make music, not money Don't get me wrong, money's alright But it's not all there is in this life I'm not talking Top 40, not talking pop Where are the ones who will put a stop To the image obsession and the shallow confection Just singing for a paycheck? Make music, not money Make music, not money Don't get me wrong, money's alright But it's not all there is in this life Do you remember when being on the cover of Rolling Stone used to mean something? Now all you gotta do is put a bomb At the end of the Boston Marathon Anything to keep the paying customer satisfied But this customer ain't satisfied Just fed up Make music, not money Make music, not money Don't get me wrong, money's alright But it's not all there is in this life Do you remember when being on the cover of Rolling Stone used to mean something? Now all you gotta do is build a wall On the edge of a country bound to fall Anything to keep them all on the other side But this citizen ain't pacified Just fed up Make music, not money Make music, not money Don't get me wrong, money's alright But it's not all there is in this life Make music, not money Make music, not money Don't get me wrong, money's alright But it's not all there is in this life No it's not all there is in this life No it's not all there is in this life
