Money and the Ego

Make my house of bricks and I’ll stick here
When the world comes crashing down around me Make your arms a willow tree
And you can bend with me anywhere I’m going
Sometimes it’s hard to see anything lovely
All the people around me Going for the money and the money and the ego
How can you ask me why I need to know before I try?
I’ve got to be sure there’s more
Than the money and the money and the ego
Keep your eyes on me And I’ll look to you so I can see what I am here for
Pull the wool over my eyes
Please kiss this day goodbye, only you can get me going
Sometimes it’s hard to see anything lovely
All the people around me Going for the money and the money and the ego
How can you ask me why I need to know before I try?
I’ve got to be sure there’s more
Than the money and the money and the ego
When giving up is all you got and giving up is all you want
You hear yourself say you lost the will, the power
When giving up is all you got and giving up is all you want
Don’t be afraid to sit down in your shower
You can stay in there for hours
Make my house of bricks and I’ll stick here
When the world comes crashing down around me Sometimes it’s hard to see anything lovely
All the people around me Going for the money and the money and the ego
How can you ask me why I need to know before I try?
I’ve got to be sure there’s more
Than the money and the money and the ego
Got to be sure there’s more
Money and the money and the ego
Got to be sure there’s more
Money and the money and the ego
