Lyrics[]
Have you ever seen a dead man
Seen a dead man lyin' in the road?
Have you ever heard his best friend
Heard his best friend say, "You better go"?
"Before you get fined, or else you'll do time"
Oh, it's all about money, money
Money, honey
It's all about money, money
Well, all right
Have you ever seen an old man
Seen an old man living all alone?
Have you ever heard an old man
Heard an old man, hear the way he moan?
Because he's so tired, because he just got fired
Oh, it's all about money, money
Money, honey, oh
It's all about money, money
Well, all right
Lately, I been feelin' like the world
Is weighin' down on me again
Ah, ah, ah, ah-oh
Have you ever seen a broke man
Seen a broke man begging for his life?
Have you ever heard a broke man
Heard a broke man, heard the pain and strife?
In his one-line plea, and his dull-edged knife
He askin' for money, money
Money, honey
He askin' for money, money
Well, all right
Well, all right
Well, all right
Well, all right
