When I woke up this morning
I was tired as I could be
I think I was counting my money
When I should've been
Counting sheep
My agent he just called me
And told me what I should be
If I would make my music for money
Instead of making music for me
I said I know that This sound funny
But money don't mean
Nothin' to me
I won't make my music for money, no
I'm gonna make my music for me
He said that people only buy
The love songs
Rock and roll
Is not too long
He said son you got to
Be commercial
If you want
To turn the people on
And I said turning
On the people
Now that's a beautiful place to be
But if I spend my time
Makin' memorable rhyme well
Who's gonna turn on me
I said I know that this sound funny
But money don't mean nothin' to me
I won't make my music for money, no
I'm gonna make my music for me
Well now, I went up the country
And I'll tell you
All about the scene
I found a place
With much charm and much grace
That was untouched
By the music machine
Well the people
Where havin' a good time
Makin' music all day long
And nobody cared
If they ever got paid
One penny for playin' a song
I said I know that this sound funny
But money don't mean nothin' to me
I won't make my music for money, no
I'm gonna make my music for me
I know that this may sound funny
But money don't mean nothin' to me
I won't make my music for money, no
I'm gonna make my music for me
