It’s Only Money

Don’t fret young man, it’s not the end

Just an excuse to start again

Life flows on and so will you

Even if less well to-do

It’s only safety, it’s just a home

It’s only food, it’s just your bones

It’s only fun, it’s just health

Never you mind, it’s only wealth

You open your mouth, as if to say

“it’s not fair, don’t make me pay!”

But worry not, you silly child

For you will see, in but a while

It’s just a car, it’s only a game

You can cry, but all the same

It’s only jewels, it’s only clothes

It’s just the heat on frozen toes

It’s just sugar, it’s just salt

Don’t blame the world, it’s just your fault

It’s only bread, it’s only honey

Don’t fret young man, it’s only money

Just hang tight while it trickles down

Don’t complain, don’t make a sound

You've learned to read, it’s plain to see

You’ve gotten far but still aren’t free

It’s just shame, it’s just strife

It’s just love and it’s just life

It’s only lust, it’s only sin

First you were but now you’ve been

You shut your eyes but always see

The face of insecurity

And though the world keeps turning on,

What once was here now seems gone

It’s just a tale, it’s only a story

It’s just that feelin' of midnight glory

It’s just because, it’s only inside

It’s what the Dude could never abide

It’s just sugar, it’s just salt

Don’t blame each other it’s no one’s fault

It’s only bread, it’s only honey

Don’t fret young man, it’s only money
