Money Talks

Checked my balance such a joke, Im just saving up to be broke
An income refugee, I aint got no equity
Its clear to me I aint got a friend every time I stop at the ATM
I hit Fast Cash on the screen, just to hear it laugh at me
Nothing burning a hole in my pocket
And Im just looking for change

(Chorus)
Money talks, and everybody listens
You can hear it sayin no one rides for free
Money talks, get a word in while its bitchin
I need a conversation with the currency
You know it walks, yeah, yeah
I want my money back guarantee
Money talks, money talks, it just aint talking to me

I went to the boss man for a raise
Just enough to hit minimum wage
He said Id like to put your mind at ease
But it just dont grow on trees
Collection calls wont let me be, my credit line is history
Im always in the hole it seems, yet I cant get on the green
Some may say you can live without it
Then they go and play the lottery

(Chorus)

Went to the crossroads to sell my soul
Make a deal with the devil for silver and gold
He said Sorry son I cant help you now
Things are tight and Im all tapped out
Down the road I met a preacher man who said
Boy I can save you where no one can
A contribution will set you free it makes no cents to me!
