Money For All

Track #01 - Money for All EP // By: Nine Horses

Wanna step on through?
Can I check that bag?
Is there something inside here
That could help you relax?

Did you find something
You were looking for?
Freedom has it’s price now
Wanna buy some more?

I’ll take that coat
Remove them shoes
Should a guy like me
Be afraid of a man like you?

All change, all change
Wipe your nation’s shame from you
It’s not where you’re born
It’s the things that you do

Money for all
Money for all
Revolution, socialism, read it in the rag
There’s a gun at your head, put the money in the bag
Money for all

Have you tried this game
When you’re feeling tired
Keeps you entertained ‘til your card expires
So you missed the broadcast, (or) do you feel the same?
Only someone said the city’s gone down in flames
In our name

All change, all change
Let gasoline fumes fill the air
Let’s show that mother how much ya care
All change, all change
Wipe your nation’s shame from you
It’s not where you’re born
It’s the things that you do

Money for all
Money for all
Hey there soldier, who’s your concubine?
With a trigger-happy finger and a nicotine flame
She’s a diamond mine [darlin’ of mine]

All change, all change
Let revolution fill the air
Let’s show that monkey how much ya care

Money for all
There’s a mean looking elephant pounding at your door
It’s dining at your table
Sleeping on your floor
Money for all
Money for all
Revolution, socialism, read it in the rag
There’s a gun at your head, put the money in the bag

Put the money in the bag
Put the money in the bag
Put the money in the bag
Put the money in the bag
