lyrics

Money in the Wind

I was a farmer in the 20’s until I took farmers lung and died.
I was a revolutionary hippy, whose bottle became his bride
I was an Aztec empire hunter who took gypsies in the dark
Back in the time of David, I slay every king who made their mark
But It’s never getting better and I’m never coming back again

(chorus) So just throw the money in the wind when I’m gone
Just throw the money in the wind when I’m gone
And let the wind sing an empty song.

Necessary evils turning good lives upside down
Television visions helping the dreamers lose their ground
Too much of everything the volume always high
I don’t know if I want to be here the next time that I die
Cause It’s never getting better and we’re never coming back again. (chorus)

I remember visions of Rome and the slaves that I kept
Of Atlantis’ tragedy how the world drowned while it slept
I now think of my children who may now remain unborn
They wouldn’t want to be here the dream that we’re living is going to see the morn,
It’s never getting better, we’re never coming back again. (chorus)

If Money makes you happy then baby, why don’t you smile?
You’re living cozy, nobody’s fool, but your smile ain’t worth a dime
It must be all the corruption; it must be all the poor
But every morning don’t matter that business suit has got to be worn
You’re never getting better; you’re never coming back again (chorus)

It’s time to wake up people, don’t you wait another day
Cause this world is a car and your drunken driver is starting to cuss and sway
The road is getting darker and we’re climbing up too many hills
And this International’s fifth gear is bound to get us all killed
It’s never getting better and we’re never coming back again (chorus)
