Album:

Get It

They say money is the root of all evil
 But if that's so they should make a saint of me
 Cos whenever things look up
 I can depend on my bad luck
 And I'll be wearing worn out suits with brand new pockets.


 They say a fool and his money are soon parted
 And I can safely say I'm living proof of that
 In one pain and out the other
 I lose more than I recover
 And I'm wearing worn out suits with brand new pockets.


 If I make more than a dime
 I know I'll lose it back in time
 Leaving me right back where I started
 If my name was Rockefeller
 Yes I'd still lose every dollar
 And I'd be wearing worn out suits with brand new pockets.


 If I make more than a dime
 I know I'll lose it back in time
 Leaving me right back where I started
 If my name was Rockefeller
 Yes I'd still lose every dollar
 I'd be wearing worn out suits with brand new pockets.
