《It’s Money That Matters》歌词

[00:00:00] It's Money That Matters (LP Version) - Randy Newman

[00:00:15] Of all of the people that I used to know

[00:00:23] Most never adjusted to the great big world

[00:00:30] I see them lurking in book stores

[00:00:35] Working for the Public Radio

[00:00:38] Carrying their babies around in a sack on their back

[00:00:42] Moving careful and slow

[00:00:46] It's money that matters

[00:00:50] Hear what I say

[00:00:54] It's money that matters

[00:00:57] In the USA

[00:01:02] All of these people are much brighter than I

[00:01:09] In any fair system they would flourish and thrive

[00:01:17] But they barely survive

[00:01:21] They eke out a living and they barely survive

[00:01:29] When I was a young boy maybe thirteen

[00:01:37] I took a hard look around me and asked what does it mean

[00:01:45] So I talked to my father and he didn't know

[00:01:49] And I talked to my friend and he didn't know

[00:01:52] And I talked to my brother and he didn't know

[00:01:56] And I talked to everybody that I knew

[00:02:00] It's money that matters

[00:02:04] Now you know that it's true

[00:02:08] It's money that matters

[00:02:11] Whatever you do

[00:02:16] Then I talked to a man lived up on the county line

[00:02:23] I was washing his car with a friend of mine

[00:02:31] He was a little fat guy in a red jumpsuit

[00:02:38] I said "You look kind of funny"

[00:02:42] He said "I know that I do"

[00:02:47] "But I got a great big house on the hill here

[00:02:51] And a great big blonde wife inside it

[00:02:55] And a great big pool in my backyard and another great big pool

[00:02:59] Beside it

[00:03:01] Sonny it's money that matters hear what I say

[00:03:09] It's money that matters in the USA

[00:03:17] It's money that matters

[00:03:21] Now you know that it's true

[00:03:25] It's money that matters whatever you do"
