Money Lyric

Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and you're okay
Money it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team

Money get back
I'm alright Jack keep your hands off my stack.
Money it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the hi-fidelity first class travelling set
And I think I need a Lear jet

Money it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away

Song Notes : "Roger Waters is the only songwriter credited on this, but the lead vocal is by David Gilmour. Waters provided the basic music and lyrics, while the whole band created the instrumental jam of the song. Gilmour was the one overseeing time change and responsible the acclaimed guitar solo. Rick Wright and Nick Mason"

"The line, "Money, so they say, is a root of all evil today" is a paraphrase from the New Testament - 1 Timothy 6:10: 'For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil'. "

"In the documentary The Making of Dark Side Of The Moon, it was revealed that Roger Waters wrote this in his garden, and the original demo version was described by him as being 'Prissy and very English'. "

"This is often misinterpreted as a tribute to money. Many people thought the line "Money, it's a gas," meant they considered money a very good thing"

"The album was engineered by famed British producer and studio genius Alan Parsons at Abby Road Studios. Parsons later started his own band called The Alan Parsons Project and scored a hit in the '80s with "Eye In The Sky." He remains a much sought after music engineer and producer today"
