It's Only Money Lyrics

T's the root of all this evil
The object of the game
Gonna burn you with a fever
In the heat of a rising flame

It's a sinful, sweet sensation
On your way up to the top
As you bow in desperation
To the drug you just can't stop
It's only money

Silver and gold and green
It's only money
Heaven or misery
It's only money
It never meant a thing to me
It's only money
But Honey, it's what I need

It'S a criminal situation,
The homeless in the street
You know physical deprivation
Can turn a beggar man to a thief

There's another world of hunger
In the high rise up above
Where the Wall Street gentlemen wonder
Why they never have quite enough
It's only money...

The best things in life are free
Take it, I don't care
Don't wanna hear about the birds and bees
Give me fast cash, greenbacks...

It's only money...
We're living in a world of greed...
