E to D
Everybody’s goin’ for the money
Thinkin’ it makes the world go round
But this old world keep turnin’ on and on
When you’re layin’ underneath the ground
Somebody’s got a hold on you
A hold on your everyday life
A hold on your friends and your relatives too
On your children and your husband and your wife
Hey, they sell you on the television
And they sell you on the radio
They sell you any old way that they can
And they come knockin’ on your front door
Well I think I will buy me a wonderful car
And a T.V. and a stereo
And I’ll drive and watch and listen all the time
And I won’t have to think anymore!
Long as we buy everything we want
We keep missin’ something we should know
Somewhere in your town, there’s a man broken down
And somewhere there’s a guy with too much dough!
So why sing a song about money?
Whey think about our way of life?
Cause it’s time to face that the human race
Needs something more than money to survive!
Everybody’s goin’ for the money
Thinkin’ it makes the world go round
But this old world keep turnin’ on and on
When you’re layin’ underneath the ground
