We're paying just to breathe With every move we make For every hand that reaches out to give A hand reaches out to take Think of money It seems funny when people playing games Pay the butcher, pay the baker Pay the taxman, pay me later It's only money It's only money It's only money It's only money Going for a drink and it's always dearer than you think Spend another pound it's time to buy another round Running out of bread and you think you going off your head It's not what's at the door but the money you have in your soul It's only money It's only money It's only money It's only money Make a point to save if you keep your money in a cave Bear it in your mind what good's a fortune left behind It's only money It's only money It's only money It's only money It's only money It's only money It's only money It's only money
