What's The Story, Old Glory

Ain't it kinda funny that there's always been money
Changin' hands all over the world
I always thought that the best things in life were free
Now I may be square but it don't seem fair
What they pickin' from this pocket of mine
And a dollar for a donut ain't too far down the line

What's the story, old glory
How come you're turnin' green?
In the land of milk and honey
You've got to have money
I bet you know what I mean

Even though we're willin', we can't have any children
'Cause there ain't nobody home night or day
Workin' eighty hours and still too many bills to pay
Well, I got my car but I can't get far on a dollar's worth of gasoline
I even gave up my subscription to the Rolling Stone magazine

So what's the story, old glory
How come you're turnin' green?
In the land of milk and honey
You've got to have money
I'm singin', you know what I mean

And you know what I'm talkin' about
I'm talkin' about USA dollar bill [Incomprehensible]
Oh, playin' my guitar

What's the story, old glory
How come you're turnin' green?
In the land of milk and honey
You've got to have that money
And so you know what I mean

Now ain't it a sin how the Japanese yen
Has driven down our dollar bill
It'd gettin' harder to find somethin' made in the U. S. of A.
So ride your Kawasaki and eat your teriyaki
I'll tell you what they're gonna do
It won't be long till they're buyin' up me and you

So what's the story, old glory
How come you're turnin' green?
In the land of milk and honey
You've got to have money
I bet you know what I mean

What's the story, old glory
How come you're turnin' green?
In the land of milk and honey
You've got to have that money
I think you know what I
I guess you know what I
I know you know what I mean
