Money Dance - Shawn Phillips

Kicking and clawing in this world of money

You’re already in the middle of world war three

Backstabbing charlatans standing on a hallowed ground

Trying to tell you that you are free

When the banker tells you that it’s gonna be alright

You know that he is talking 'bout his own security

With six billion people all trying to be the number one

I think that you can see where that will easily lead

But if you gonna fly with the wings of an eagle

Then you have to be an eagle at heart

Soaring through the circus of your own emotions

And striking out into the dark

'Cause it’s a money dance, funny dance

Spinnin' on a wheel of chance

Money dance, funny dance

Spinnin' on a wheel of chance

Money dance, funny dance

Spinnin' on a wheel of chance

Money dance, funny dance

Spinnin' on a wheel of chance

Money isn’t everything

It’ll never buy you peace of mind

It’ll never buy you courage or pride

It’ll never buy you the things that you want the most

The things you love that you feel inside

And you can be sure you will find out who your friends are

When you are broke they will not run and hide

They will always be there when you need them

When the world gets tough and the times get tried

But if you gonna fly with the wings of an eagle

Then you have to be an eagle at heart

Soaring through the circus of your own emotions

And striking out into the dark

'Cause it’s a money dance, funny dance

Spinnin' on a wheel of chance

Money dance, funny dance

Spinnin' on a wheel of chance

Money dance, funny dance

Spinnin' on a wheel of chance

Money dance, funny dance

Spinnin' on a wheel of chance

Yet the sun keeps shinin' in the brilliant skies

Even though they may be tinged with grey

There ain’t no reason to keep on freakin' out

There ain’t no reason throwin' life away

So many people in a world of trouble

How can this be in a world so bright?

With life all around you teeming in the distance

As far away as the farthest night

'Cause it’s a money dance, funny dance

Spinnin' on a wheel of chance

Money dance, funny dance

Spinnin' on a wheel of chance

Oh, money dance, funny dance

Spinnin' on a wheel of chance

Money dance, funny dance

Spinnin' on a wheel of chance

Money dance, funny dance

Spinnin' on a wheel of chance

Money dance, funny dance

Spinnin' on a wheel of chance

Oh, money dance, funny dance

Spinnin' on a wheel of chance

Money dance, funny dance

Spinnin' on a wheel of chance

Money dance, funny dance

Spinnin' on a wheel of chance

Money dance, funny dance

Spinnin' on a wheel of chance

Oh, money dance, funny dance

Spinnin' on a wheel of chance

Money dance, funny dance

Spinnin' on a wheel of chance

Money dance, money dance

Money dance, money dance

Money dance, money dance

Money dance, money dance

Money dance
