Del McCoury Band - Moneyland

Now it’s a pity to see
When the land of the free
Turns out to be
Nothin’ but a free for all

If you got dough
You’re freer than most
Cause your freedom goes up
With the size of your bank roll

You can buy a judge or a bribe
Or a thug or a bomb or a shredding machine
You can buy your way through into
And onto any ticket or TV screen

Chorus
It’s a money disease
It’s a thing called greed
And it feeds on those
Who need the money most
In moneyland
Oh it ain’t so funny
It you ain’t got the money
In moneyland

Now a corporate crime
You just do a little time
Pay a little fine
And then you’re in the clear

Murder and robbery
Cause by snobbery
Doesn’t mean a thing
It just falls on deaf ears

Now money is the thing
We all sweat for
It’s what some dreams
Are made of
But then there’s those
Who want it all
And enough is never enough

Chorus

Oooh money money money
Oooh more more more
Oooh money money money
Oooh more more more

Now a piece of the action
Is the main attraction
Get a big house fast car
Honey you got class

What’ll it get me
How much what’s mine
Are the only questions anybody seems to ask

Now who got beat got fought
Got bled
And who got burned today
Who got fixed got fooled got framed
And who got in the way

Chorus
