Mick Fleetwood - It's Only Money lyrics

T's the root of all this evil The object of the game Gonna burn you with a fever In the heat of a rising flame It's a sinful, sweet sensation On your way up to the top As you bow in desperation To the drug you just can't stop It's only money Silver and gold and green It's only money Heaven or misery It's only money It never meant a thing to me It's only money But Honey, it's what I need It'S a criminal situation The homeless in the street You know physical deprivation Can turn a beggar man to a thief There's another world of hunger In the high rise up above Where the Wall Street gentlemen wonder Why they never have quite enough It's only money... The best things in life are free Take it, I don't care Don't wanna hear about the birds and bees Give me fast cash, greenbacks... It's only money... We're living in a world of greed...
