Cuttin' my teeth, cuttin' my gums
Livin' my life and still trying to have fun
The old routine is wearing thin
Livin' on the edge of grace and sin
It all comes down to money
They say it don't grow on trees
I used to think that was funny
But now it's killin' me
Payin' my dues and circling round
Dollar for dollar, pound for pound
Keep it loose, trying to keep it tight
One of these days I'm gonna get it right
One of these days I'm gonna get it right
It all comes down to money
They say it don't grow on trees
I used to think that was funny
But now it's killin' me
I never can get on top
I never can get ahead
They say it's gonna be that way
'Til I'm dead
I better get it through my head
It all comes down to money
They say it don't grow on trees
I used to think that was funny
But now it's killin' me
I never can get on top
I never can get ahead
Some say it's gonna be that way
'Til I'm dead
I better get it through my head
There's only one way out of this world
And it ain't alive
There's only one way out of this world
And it ain't alive
There's only one way out of this world
And it ain't alive
Gonna live a life that I can be proud of when I die
