The Relentless Money Love Blues

I was sittin' on a hard park bench and
she was stretched out on an easy chair
She said, "It feels like I can read your
mind, I think I like what I'm reading there"
I said, "You can't believe everything
you read, I think I read that somewhere"
They said, "She's old money, boy,
she's out of your league, I think you better fold"
They said, "She's old money, boy,
I happen to know money never gets old"
Besides money isn't everything there's love and gold

My father told me something back when I was young
Life is a ladder with elastic rungs
It helps to be skinny with a big trust fund

Yeah, one night I found two hundred
dollar bills outside the local corner store
They say we're rational creatures but most days I'm really not so sure
Every time I pass that corner, I slow down looking for more
But money doesn't talk, it hires bodyguards to clear the way
I said, "Hey, what's this?
I thought we were just teaching each
other the language of love yesterday"
She said, "You could learn eleven
languages and still have nothing to say"
