Lyrics
Who made this rod for my back?
It's me that's takin the flack
Who made this bed 'cause I'm lyin in it
But I can't get no sleep
'cause I'm dyin in it
Chorus
Livin life in the red
When you ain't got no bread
Verse 2
Who can afford to be ill?
Who will pay for the bills?
Who wrote the rules for this game I'm losin?
I can't get off of this ride
'Cause I feel sick inside
Bridge:
All you hear is the money talkin,
Money talkin,
Put my hands to my ears
Don't shut out the fears
Might as well be a dead man walkin,
Money talkin...
Verse 3
Who tied the world in these chains?
Talkin heads with no brains
Who locked this cell so we can't break it?
Can't get out of this place
So we'll never make it
Chorus
Livin life in the red
When you ain't got no bread
All you hear is the money talkin, talkin,
Money talkin, talkin, talkin
Might as well be a dead man walkin, walkin,
Money talkin, talkin,
Money talkin...
