Laura Nyro - Money [Live] lyrics

She said I'm young enough I'm old enough To paint a smile I tasted heaven and hell Heaven, stay a while A good friend Is a rare find Their straight talk Can ease your mind A good pimp's Gonna rob you blind Money money money I feel like a pawn In my own world I found the system And I lost the pearl It's breaking me down Well, you don't wake You don't shake You just make the sound Go round and round and round And round Bleed a little Bleed a little Till your freedom calls you Somewhere out Children laugh Like meteors Rolling down the gra** Mothers pull the nighttime in Calling their children With spoons in the wind But not for me She said I'm young enough I'm old enough In the city machine Where industries Fill the fish Full of mercury (It's tax-free) She said My struggle hurt But it turned me on And when my revolution came The chain was gone On my feet To the sound of my heartbeat Money money money Do you feel like a pawn In your own world? You found the system And you lost the pearl Like leaves coming down You've got to wake, shake Make your vibe go round And round and round and round
