The Wisdom Behind the Smile (Cash) Songtext
von Keziah Jones

Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba, hey


I was standing
On one of the Seine bridges
Saying goodbye to
Lydia Tracy
When the news broke
That we had been used and abused
Since money began
To some its kinda rude
To refuse
"The bootleg version"
Of an act of love
Blufunk individuals
Can change that phrase to bribery
Change that phrase to bribery
Change that phrase
Sko doo bab, be do boo doo bab

Because the wisdom
Behind the smile
Is called "Cash"
Oh oh "Cash"
I know that money lies to me
It′s freedom on paper
But nobody's free
You know it′s gonna kill for me
To see so many people diggin
"The bootleg version"
Money bleeds
Greed is a need
Only to those
Only to those
Only to those
Only to those you can't afford it
Sko doo bab, be do boo doo bab
They're diggin "The bootleg version"


Because the wisdom
Behind the smile
Is called "Cash"
"Cash"
Money
They′re diggin "The bootleg version"
They′re kickin "The bootleg version"
They're dying "The bootleg version"
They′re??? "The bootleg version"
Cash money
Cash mulah
Cash dollar
Cash dollar signs
Cash in your minds
Sko doo bab, be do boo doo bab

The wisdom
Behind the smile
Is called "Cash"
(Rhythmical singing)
"Bootleg version"
Ba ba ba ba ba (many times)
Ba ba ba (many times)
(Rhythmical singing, words)
