James Taylor - Money Machine Lyrics
When I was just a childMy life was, oh, so simpleAnd the ways of the great worldSeemed strange and funnyThen when I was a young manI learned of that machineThat turns out all those bails of precious moneyNow you can measure you manhood by itYou can get your children to try itYou can bring your enemies to their kneesWith the possible exception of the north vietnameseIt takes a strong hit from the money machineSitting on top, on top of the worldStrong hit from the money machineSitting on top, on top of the worldGeneral motors and ibmAfl-cio and all the kings menWhen I began the gameSee me singing bout fire and rainLet me just say it againIve seen fives and Ive seen tensIt was a strong hit from the money machineSitting on top, on top of the worldStrong hit from the money machineSettle up top, on top of the world(money, money, money)(give me that dough)(mine, mine, mine)Been living in the lap of luxury too longPlease, mr. dj, wont you play my songMaybe my baby will listen on the radioCome back home to meHelp me spend my doughI need a strong hit from the money machineSitting on top, on top of the goddamn worldI need a strong hit from the money machineStrong hit from the money machineSitting on top, on top of the worldMoney, money, money
