From the recording Back From The Edge
Lyrics
Intro
It’s alright, I know what you’re goin through
There’s more to life than money, that’s what they keep telling you
You thought you had a choice, but they’ve made the choice for you
V1
Your ship is comin in now baby, it’s comin in right on time
But you won’t see a nickel of it, you won’t see a dime
You know he’s out there somewhere, pullin strings and makin plans
But you can’t find him anywhere, that’s why He’s The Man.
Doesn’t matter where the money went
Cause you’re never gonna see a cent
Inst
V3
Let me draw you a picture, of how the rich get richer
while the rest of us, are livin in a van down by the river.
That’s the way it goes, they can’t tell you where the money went
but that don’t buy my supper, and they don’t pay my rent
Outro
It’s alright, I know what you’re goin through
There’s more to life than money, that’s what they keep telling you
It doesn’t matter where the money went,
Cause you’re never gonna see a cent
