lyrics

So fucking bored
Trapped in a box heading for the 7th floor
The most basic thoughts
Crawling up the steeple, promoted ‘til they are all chairmen of the board
Once I slept on the floor of a train
From Paris to Venice and again
On the deck of a ferry where I howled “hallelujah” out into the rain
So why am I wasting my life
For the money, money, money, money?
Not living, I’m dying for the money

I heard a chord
Outside of the window an angel I saw
And up he soared
Rang a bell for me, but I had to take a call
I thought of ‘planes and towers and Birkenau
Thought where fate can take you and how
Your luck can change quickly so if you’re gonna do somehting you better do it now
And yet I’m here, year after year still fearing
No money, money, money, money
Not living, I’m dying for the money

A siren’s shriek
Was dragging my life out and down onto the street
The mast too weak
I called my angel, prayed that my falling didn’t mean defeat
In dreams I pulled the false gods from the sky
Pulled them down to Earth to ask them why
The world they created keeps me trapped in a box and makes the angels cry
Those dreams that free me
I see sold straight back to me
For the money, money, money, money
Not living, I’m dying for the money
