Money’s Not Evil

When you ain't got none money's not evil
And I'm tired, tired of the trouble

And I once had a friend that told me that we live, that we live
In the age of bread
And even though he moved a thousand miles away
I still believe in what he said

That a wise man might try to tell you what is zen
But he doesn't have to pay the rent

Don't empathize with the landlord's pain
Just flushing your money down the drain

When you ain't got none money's not evil
And I'm tired, tired of the struggle

Moms and dads are saving their scratch
To send their kids to a higher plane

But what they don't know is just enough
To keep the joke
So forward in their brains

And on the day that you say that you're gonna start your life
Move your ass, and part the seas

A pat on the back and a bill
Yeah, growing up
Ain't exactly what you dreamed

Oh, oh oh oh oh!

When you ain't got none money's not evil
And I'm tired, tired of the struggle

And months go buy with unpaid notes
And credit cards got me by the throat
And God please don't go and raise my rent
'Cause gettin' paid don't make a dent, a dent, a dent

When you ain't got none money's not evil
And I'm tired, tired of the struggle
