Mac McAnally - Hush Money lyrics

Watching the mail box behind the door with the double locks And sipping on his Maalox, this old man And every month a little check will come He'd save a little and he'd squander some He's got to have it but he'll never understand He's living on hush money, hush money, hush money Only making sure Hush money Socially secure A suburban house wife, the little woman with the little life Her husband works the nights away He keeps her happy with the charge accounts A little habit for the large amounts And since I love you, she said, let me count the way Depending on hush money, hush money, hush money Getting handed down Hush money Makes the world go round You could save it for a rainy day You could up and blow it all away Doesn't matter as long as you keep it down, keep it down You could spend it on a younger girl You could buy we are the world Finance the revolution in the underground But turn off the TV, there's starving children here on channel three I'll send a check for what it means to me I know Defensible hush money, hush money, hush money Getting handed down Hush money Makes the world go round Hush money, hush money, hush money, hush money You got me counting on Hush money World go round Hush money It's getting handed down Hush money, hush money, hush money World go round Hush money It's getting handed down Hush money
