[Verse 1] I'm a human being Not a machine I eventually will tire Of this silly maze I've been walking through So cleverly disguised As a pretty house As a handsome man With his hand moving Up my thigh A college degree A job with salary That'll keep me From the thing I ought'a know That you ought'a know [Chorus] It's a shame about this mud This money, money rut What if love just ain't enough? This money, money rut [Verse 2] It's not unusual To be curious About the meaning Of your life When you lay in bed And you toss and turn Constantly wonder why Why the world is Wet and beautiful But you're all Dried up inside When you fall asleep Only in your dreams Is it possible to cry It's not unusual To dream of waterfalls Of oceans ripped From the sky Cause they quench your thirst And they fill your soul Like a burning, pink sunrise And then all is calm In your little boat Float into the horizon You float on and on and on... [Chorus] It's a shame about this mud This money, money rut What if love just ain't enough? This money, money rut
