[Chorus]
They talk but they never say nothing (Yeah)
They touch but they never feel
We work but we never earn nothing, yeah
This is the only thing that's ever real
[Verse 1]
Uh, for God's sakes, whichever way you're cuttin' the cheesecake
I need about one, two, three plates, that's me, myself and I
Four for the band, crumbs for the drummer
I need work for my hands, bread for my hunger
See, if money, money, money makes the world go 'round
When the stock markеt crashes, does it make a sound?
Likе the world stood still but your head kept spinning
'Cause the rent's still due and the rich kept winnin', say
Baby don't you worry, you're in a rush to have enough
To not be in a hurry, you're in a hurry, now say
Baby don't you worry, you're in a rush to have enough
To not be in a hurry, you're in a hurry, now say
[Pre-Chorus]
Uh, it's all in the bag
You cannot buy the happiness you already had
Not a penny for a thought or a dollar for a hunch
'Cause there ain't no such thing as a free lunch, and we say, and we say
[Chorus]
They talk but they never say nothing
(And we [?] the [?] and we walk, we never got it right)
They touch but they never feel
(And we work the [?] and we pay the [due?] to drive us [tired?])
We work but we never earn nothing, yeah
(And we talk the [crater?] and we walk, we never got it right)
This is the only thing that's ever real
(And we work the [?] and we pay the dues)
[Verse 2]
Uh, listen, listen, y'all remember me just like that Spanish mission
When you think of Texas like a homesick winter pigeon
Picked a lane, picked a spot, picked a pot to piss in
Really only tough with your feelings when the goin' isn't
I fix your vision, your astigmatism
So you a self-made man in a self-built prison
If money, money, money makes the world go 'round
When the stock market crashes, does it make a sound?
Like the world stood still but your head kept spinning
'Cause the rent's still due and the rich kept winnin', say
Baby don't you worry, you're in a rush to have enough
To not be in a hurry, you're in a hurry, now say
Baby don't you worry, you're in a rush to have enough
To not be in a hurry, you're in a hurry, now say
[Pre-Chorus]
Uh, it's all in the bag
You cannot buy the happiness you already had
Not a penny for a thought or a dollar for a hunch
'Cause there ain't no such thing as a free lunch, and we say
[Chorus]
They talk but they never say nothing, yeah
(And we [?] the [?] and we walk, we never got it right)
They touch but they never feel
(And we work the [?] and we pay the [due?] to drive us [tired?])
We work but we never earn nothing, yeah
(And we talk the [crater?] and we walk, we never got it right)
This is the only thing that's ever real
[Outro]
(That's the way, that's the way, that's the way, that's the way, ooh) They talk but they never say nothing
(That's the way, that's the way, that's the way, that's the way, ooh) They touch but they never feel
(That's the way, that's the way, that's the way, that's the way, ooh) We work but we never earn nothing, yeah
(That's the way, that's the way, that's the way, that's the way, ooh) This is the only thing that's ever real
(That's the way, that's the way, that's the way, that's the way, ooh) They talk but they never say nothing
(That's the way, that's the way, that's the way, that's the way, ooh) They touch but they never feel
(That's the way, that's the way, that's the way, that's the way, ooh) We work but we never earn nothing, yeah
(That's the way, that's the way, that's the way, that's the way, ooh) This is the only thing that's ever real
That's the way, that's the way, that's the way, that's the way, ooh
That's the way, that's the way, that's the way, that's the way, ooh
That's the way, that's the way, that's the way, that's the way, ooh
That's the way, that's the way
