I chased it all my life
I thought it would do me so much good
Buy me things I like
Make me feel the way I should
But money money money
It’s just paper that smells funny
Money money money
It buys you love it sets you free
But these are things only a fool believes
The more of it I got
The worse I felt deep down in my soul
I spent so much just to get it
I had to sell what made me feel whole
And money money money
It’s just paper that smells funny
Oh money money money
You can have enough but never plenty
Money money money money
It entertains you it amuses you
But it can quickly turn from green to blue
I climbed the ladder
Got close to the top
Had a good zip code
I never wanted the ride to stop
Then one night my values
Got totally rearranged
Woke up in a hospital bed
Like it or not everything had changed
The things I once held dear
They all seemed so clearly cheap
And all the goals I had
Well I can’t believe they cost me so much sleep
Oh money money money
In the end it’s all worth nothing
Money money money
Stuff your pockets and your soul gets empty
Oh money money money
You can have enough but never plenty
Money money money money
It sucks you in it spits you out
And every day
It makes the world go ‘round
