Money Is a Memory

Lyrics

Money, money, money, money Money, money, money, money Money lives longer than a memory Back to the records room On the right hand side In a box marked, "Three Signatories Required" Things we owe each other from way back when Never cut and dried A procedural formality Hats raised to fiscal bureaucracy Bonds raised to rebuild democracy The theory goes But there are people inside Real people inside How do you think they'll feel when They find your paper is Worth more than them? The promises you made to your brother All the things you owe your father and your mother They'll be gone when you're gone But watch that paper trail (Money, money, money, money Money, money, money, money Money lives longer than a memory) But we'll pass the stories on (Money, money, money, money Money, money, money, money Money lives longer than a memory) We won't forget 'Cause we are people inside Real people inside Do you think it feels good To know your paper is Worth more than us?
