Love of money

When did you stop believing in yourself

You’re on a road leading to a dead end

‘cause all you care about is your wealth

And the one who loved you

You would not defend

Don’t you realize you are losing what is real

For something that will never bring you joy

At the expense of how many do you not feel

Just so you can get a new toy

All for the love of money

The one you caress and call honey

Listening to the lies she whispers in your head

When you should be listening to your heart instead

You think you’re so smart

and so much better than the rest

So you tear others apart

not realizing you failed the test

The one’s with the outstretched hand

You pass them by

One day before Him you will stand

And you will be asked why

All for the love of money

The one you caress and call honey

listening to the lies she whispers in your head

so now your heart is lonely and dead

You know all I ever hoped for

Was for you to feel

Instead my heart is what you tore

And you refused to look at what was real

You think you’re so smart

and so much better than the rest

You refuse to give of your heart

So you have failed the test

All for the love of money

The one you caress and call honey

Listening to the lies she whispers in your head

Because your heart is already dead

All for the love of money

All for the love of money

You can’t take it with you

And because you can’t feel

You have no one to leave it to

It’s with the devil you have made your deal

All for the love of money

The one you caress and call honey

Listening to the lies she whispers in your head

Leaving you with a heart that’s cold and dead

You should have listened to your heart instead

You should have listened to it instead
