It's All About the Money

Cadillac on the interstate

Ran a redneck in the ditch

Big city lawyer called

Said, "Son, I'm gonna make you rich

Just put your shoulder in a sling

Your neck in a brace

We're gonna take his butt to court

Take everything he makes."

It's all about the money.



There's a local politician

Says he needed out vote

He'd put two chickens in every pot

And pave all the county roads

We ain't seen that S.O.B.

Since the day he raised his hand

We're still dodgin' potholes

Eatin' potted meat and Spam

It's all about the money.

It's all about the money.



A handshake used to be

All you used need to make a deal, yes it was

Now they'll look you in the eye

Tell you a big old boldfaced lie

With a team of lawyers, moving in for the kill

It's all about the money.



They say they are your best friends

As long as you're buying the rounds

They'll light your smoke, tell you jokes

At every bar in town

As soon as you hit some hard times

And the good times disappear

You're all alone, they're all gone

One thing is so clear

It's all about the money.

It's all about the money...
