Money
I am not made of money but my clothes say I am
I am not made of money but my voice tells me I am
I am not made of money but society says I am
I am not made of money but my wife thinks I am
I am not made of money but my life says I am
I am not made of money but my history tells me I am
I am not made of money but the roman history tells me I am
I am not made of money but judas from the bible tells me I am
I am not made of money but God tells me I am not so I can be who I am
Cheers To Loneliness
You never appreciated a thing
Kicked me to the curb anyway
Always walking on egg shells
You never respond
Always the silence treatment
Have a drink toward isolation
Cheers to loneliness
For I am zero
Another failed marriage
Just being honest
Where did I go wrong?
I guess because i grew old
I was never enough
I’m not made of money
The bed room is always empty
What's the point of staying
Cheers to loneliness
I”m always to blame
Turn to dust
What a shame
Have another drink
To cover up the pain
Jim found a way to make his girlfriends sing
he buys each one a giant diamond ring,
while he's not made of money
they all call him "Sweet honey"...
but his wife just calls him "My ding-a-ling."
