Making Music For Money Songtext
I woke up this morning
I was tired as I could be
I guess I was counting my money
When I should have been counting sheep
My agent, he just called me
And then told me what I should be
He said that I should make my music for money
Instead of making my music for me
And I said I know that it may sound funny
But money don′t mean nothin' to me
I won′t make my music for money
I'm gonna make my music for me
Now people only like the love songs
Rock and rollin' not too long
He said, kid you got to be commerical
If you wanna turn the people on
Now turning on the people
What a beautiful place to be
But if I spend my time makin′ memorable rhyme
Who′s gonna turn on me?
And I said I know that it may sound funny
But money don't mean nothin′ to me
I won't make my music for money
I′m gonna make my music for me
Now, I went up the country
And I'll tell you about the scene
I found a place with much charm and much grace
Was untouched by the music machine
The people where havin′ a good time
Everybody singing along
And nobody cared if nobody gave
One more penny for singin' a song
And I said I know that it may sound funny
But money don't mean nothin′ to me
I won′t make my music for money
I'm gonna make my music for me
I said I know that it may sound funny, yeah
Money don′t mean nothin' to me
I won′t make my music for money
I'm gonna make my music for, make my music for
Make my music for me
I was tired as I could be
I guess I was counting my money
When I should have been counting sheep
My agent, he just called me
And then told me what I should be
He said that I should make my music for money
Instead of making my music for me
And I said I know that it may sound funny
But money don′t mean nothin' to me
I won′t make my music for money
I'm gonna make my music for me
Now people only like the love songs
Rock and rollin' not too long
He said, kid you got to be commerical
If you wanna turn the people on
Now turning on the people
What a beautiful place to be
But if I spend my time makin′ memorable rhyme
Who′s gonna turn on me?
And I said I know that it may sound funny
But money don't mean nothin′ to me
I won't make my music for money
I′m gonna make my music for me
Now, I went up the country
And I'll tell you about the scene
I found a place with much charm and much grace
Was untouched by the music machine
The people where havin′ a good time
Everybody singing along
And nobody cared if nobody gave
One more penny for singin' a song
And I said I know that it may sound funny
But money don't mean nothin′ to me
I won′t make my music for money
I'm gonna make my music for me
I said I know that it may sound funny, yeah
Money don′t mean nothin' to me
I won′t make my music for money
I'm gonna make my music for, make my music for
Make my music for me
