Lyrics
Money Blues
By: Martina Cline Copyright 2004
Verse 1: Everyday it?s the same old thing.
Gotta get up at dawn.
Take my shower, brush my hair & try to beat the clock.
The Boss Man tells me, ?You gotta work or you won?t get no pay.?
But it seems he keeps wanting more & I ain?t seen no raise.
Chorus: Gotta think about money,
So many bills to pay.
Gotta think about money,
And the Tax Man takes it away.
Bridge: Now everyone wants a piece of me but I?ve got none to give.
Contribute to this charity or else they may not live.
I feel the pressure building in me, as they feed me the same ole line.
The guy on the corner walk on up, ?Hey Lady can you spare a dime??
Gotta think about money everywhere I go.
Gotta think about money, money, money & I ain?t got no dough.
Verse 2: Now I heard just the other day that you can have peace of mind.
All ya gotta do is consolidate & everything will be just fine.
Well mister, I don?t believe a word of what you say is true.
My Mama said for me not to trust in people like you.
(Repeat Chorus)
End: I?m trying to stay on top. Life is such a joke.
When is it gonna stop, cause all I am is broke.
I?ve got those money blues, OH YEAH
