Henry Gross - It's The Money lyrics

You tell me not to worry, you tell me I should wait You say that we can work it out it's just a piece of cake You're driving a Ferrari, I'm tryin' to beg a ride You live the life of Riley while I struggle to survive It's not the principal of the thing It's not how bad you hurt me when you're pulling on my strings It's not the way you insult me when you don't return my call Ain't your condescending attitude, believe me most of all It's not the money, it's the money Nobody wants to know you, one look was all it took Next day you win the lottery your phone rings off the hook Strangers want to love you, everybody is your friend You tell a tired old joke and the laughter never ends All your sins are forgiven you're a hero and a saint Everybody says you've changed even though you know you ain't When you hear ‘em s**ing up, it's enough to make you sick You're the chairman of the board and you didn't work a lick It's not the money, it's the money It's not the money, it's the money It's crowded at your table when you're paying for the meal Everybody's trying to sell you on some crazy kind of deal They'll borrow till tomorrow and they'll never pay you back They'll wish you all the best and pray you have a heart attack Because it's the money There's a method to the madness, you better get it right Gather up your rubles do your best to hold on tight Ain't nobody gonna save you when the ax begins to fall You can bet the farm and all your charm no one will even call You're a rich man baby long as you have got your health And true love is without a doubt the greatest form of wealth ‘Cause all men are brothers treated equal by the law So allow me to repeat myself much louder than before It's not the money, it's the money It's not the money, it's the money It's not the money, it's the money It's not the money, it's the money It's the money
