It's so hard to get a break from the money machine And you know that it's easy, so easy to make a mistake But you're flying high, yeah, you're in an airplane, you're up in the sky Fly so high Years go by and no one knows how you feel inside And you know that corporate pig won't let me in to the money machine But you're drinking gin, yeah, by the big bar, you're out by the pool You're the fool Fame never comes to those who wait for the money machine And you know we get older, a little older, and then we fade away
Fade away I'm sleeping away the day, I feel I cannot succeed I'm trying to buy time up in my mind to get over your greed Now don't give me any crap, I know it's a trap you intend to write us off Well you're too numb to know where we're coming from, you're just too soft You wanna make a buck, you average schmuck, you don't care about the band You blow sugar up my a** and then say you'll pa** and try to shake my hand You know I'm tryin' You know I'm tryin' to get through to the money machine
