What’s The Story, Old Glory
Ain't it kinda funny that there's always been money
Changin' hands all over the world
I always thought the best things in life were free
Now, I may be square, but it don't seem fair
What there pickin' in this pocket of mine
And a dollar for a donut ain't to far down the line
Chorus:
What's the story, old glory?
How come your turning green?
In the land of milk and honey, you've got to have money
I bet you know what I mean
Even though we're willin, we can't have any children
Cause there ain't nobody home night or day
Working eighty hours and still too many bills to pay
Well, I got my car but I can't get far
On a dollar's worth of gasoline
I even give up my subscription to Rolling Stone magazine
Chorus:
So, what's the story, old glory
How come your turning green?
In the land of milk and honey, you've got to have money
I bet you know what I mean
Chorus:
What's the story, old glory?
How come your turning green?
In the land of milk and honey, you've got to have money
I bet you know what I mean
Now ain't it a sin how the Japanese yen
Had driven down our dollar bill
It'd gettin' harder to find somethin' made in the U. S. of A.,
So ride your Kawasaki and eat your teriyaki
I'll tell you what they're gonna do
It won't be long till they're buying me up and you
Chorus:
So, what's the story, old glory
How come your turning green?
In the land of milk and honey, you've got to have money
I bet you know what I mean
Chorus:
What's the story, old glory?
How come your turning green?
In the land of milk and honey, you've got to have money
I bet you know what I
I bet you know what I
I bet you know what I mean
