Trail of Money Songtext
von Malcolm Holcombe

trail o′ money

if you wanna get rich
give your money to me
turn a nickle on a smile
and a handshake for free

all the noise from the crowd
breakin' hearts with deceit
all you war hungry bastards
bloodthirsty with greed

gangway i′m comin' with a trail o' money
gangway stay outta my way
gangway i′m comin′ with a trail o' money
no room for the poor to stay

stand in the shadows
the new moon will rise
the stars they shot down
in the blink of an eye


my instincts are wounded
my schools bleed with guns
my children are recklessly
lost in the sun

now go hide from your neighbors
dont answer the door
your food and possessions
will protect you no more

but there′s a spirit in man
not measured by money
not bribed by glory
but worth ev'ry sufferin′

there's a spirit in man
not measured by money
not bribed by glory
but worth ev′ry sufferin'
