Money-Love
money-love, makes a whore of us all
I think this ol' story might be yours
'makes me feel like them other freelance outlaws
y'know this old story could be yours
--------
promising a world to win or lose
catch them unawares when they are young
get them drunk on desire, keep them on the run
under the thumb, n' yet still so young
money-love, makes a whore of us all
I'm not above the struggle of money-love.
---------
slight of hand, the cheapest of tricks and
interest to cash in on your prime
and woe betide, should them payments fall behind
y'know this here story could be mine
money-love, makes a whore of us all
I still think this ol' story could be yours
-----------
'want t' talk 'bout that what makes me sick
I'm not above the struggle of money-love
