Rightly Jennings Poet Lyric

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
