Lyrics
Money will last the whole year through
More for me, there’s more for you
Money’s made-up: a children's game
So, why do we feel obliged to play?
The work is hard - it leaves a scar
The more you get, the more you are
But pawns we play in life’s chess board match
Try and get out without a scratch
Burn that paper
Money, money, doesn’t mean a thing to me
Burn that paper
Honey, honey, on one thing let’s agree
Burn that paper
Money shouldn’t be about greed
Light a little match and relax
It’s easy
Some people dream of money their whole life long
I know all about that, I have sung that song
Always | plannin’ next month I’ll have more, month after that
For sure for sure for sure, for sure?
What we don’t stop to think about is that its all a scheme
A currency created to trap us in greed, in need
Never thought you'd pay for air or water
We all lay down and just take the slaughter
Never thought yourself as a sucker for lottery
But now its the only glimpse you have of bein’ free
None of this would be, if we all just agree
No money, no one in need, no need to bleed
Take that from those who made the need, need ease of mind
Knowing the work you put in you’ll get out just fine
Tired of younger, hot-headed men, older not wiser then
Me and you and all our knowledge too
Regard to Caesar who cast coins by billions
Threw money at crowded, nude and sadly disadvantaged poor masses
Then he taxed them by the pound and had ‘em back on their asses
Et tu Brute? Nay, I say
Burn that paper
Money, money, doesn’t mean a thing to me
(Keep wanting more)
Burn that paper
Honey, honey, on one thing let’s agree
(Cash that’s the cure)
Burn that paper
Money shouldn’t be about greed
(No alms for the poor)
Light a little match and relax
It’s easy
(Keep your pockets lined and loaded
Come and work for free)
Money exists cause we all yearn for something to follow
Pick-up a pick-axe, shovel or rake and swallow
Its time we stood up in protest to say
Just ‘cause here we were born; here we shall not stay
It’s okay to become aggravated in this way
We were not meant as humans to be dull and grey
Time we burst out in color and join our friends who know
Our story, our life, our struggle, our plans to grow
Assemble and shout, Hey this is me and now I know
And I don’t need your fake paper to make it so!
Oo-woah
(Do-wop do-wop do-witty do-wop do-um
Do-wop do-witty do-wop do-um)
Oo-woah
(Do-wop do-wop do-witty do-wop do-um
Do-wop do-witty do-wop do-um)
Oo-woah
(Do-wop do-wop do-witty do-wop do-um
Do-wop do-witty do-wop do-um)
Oo-woah
(Do-wop do-witty do-wop do-um
Do-wop do-witty do-wop do-diddy-dum)
Burn that paper
Money, money, doesn’t mean a thing to me
Burn that paper
Honey, honey, on one thing let’s agree
Burn that paper
Money shouldn’t be about greed
Light a little match and relax
It’s easy
