American Money Lyrics by GANGgajang

True To The Tone

0

[Verse 1]
"Is this what my life amounts to?"
Says the man with the carnation in his lapel
"I didn't know it worked this way
I thought every dog had his day"
And he'd believed in the dream
He'd waited on every corner
But now forsaken he explains
It wasn't the temptation of a woman
[Chorus]
It was American money
I tell you it made him what he is today
It was American money
He imagined stuffing pictures of Washington in the pocket of his raincoat
[Verse 2]
"So where has my family gone to?"
Says the man from the fortieth floor of his hotel
Well everybody has to pay
But maybe it's in different ways
'Cause he'd believed in the dream
Why, he'd met it on every corner
But he never could explain what could made a man lose his sense of decency
[Chorus]
It was American money
I tell you it made him what he is today
It was American money
So don't underestimate the power of the dollar in your pocket
American money
And there's pictures of Washington falling from his pockets
[Verse 3]
Now they got guns in outer space
And nobody's going to win that race
'Cause when there's nowhere left to hide
You won't be taking sides
Though you believed in the dream
And it was waiting on every corner
But now it's coming down around you
Like bankers jumping from the windows of Wall Street
[Chorus]
American money
I tell you it made us what we are today
It was American money
So don't underestimate the power of the dollar in your pocket
American money
I tell you, made us what we are today
It was American money
We'd imagined stuffing pictures of Washington
In the pockets of our raincoats
