Money Can'T Buy Happiness

When all of your hope hangs in a 2 percent You set out on a mission to find out where the other 98 went It lies in the hands of something sweet has honey As dangerous as fire, of course its money It brings you up and takes you down It will buy you a fancy house in town It will destroy your life if you don't have enough You'll leave your wife when the getting is tough You can buy things with it that are illegal without fail but don't worry if you have enough it can get you out of jail It can make you look pretty when your really not It can get you out of winter and too a tropical spot It can save you and give you an education It can get you out of a sticky situation It can buy fake affections and desires It can rebuild things destroyed by fires but unfortunately for some it has no affect on people who are real People who have extreme emotions and can actually feel To keep people in my life forever I would give my every penny But honestly, I don't think I have that many.
