A Dog Called Money - PJ Harvey

The kids, they’re rolling dice for change

Sitting on the backyard steps

Calling Money’s name

Old guy walking to the store

Chewing on a cocktail stick

Starts to tell us what is what

He says

«Everything is staged

That’s how it is

People are just paid to work

And I’m tired of it

What you gonna do to change it?

Everything is staged

That’s what’s going on»

The kids rolling dice again

The sun is beating down

I asked the old guy’s name

He smiles

The pitbull runs our way

The kids call out for him

«Money, money»

He says

«Everything is staged

That’s how it is

People are just paid to work

And I’m tired of it

What you gonna do to change it?

It’s all about money

That’s what’s going on»
