Money for Life Songtext
von The Riptides

He lives in Hope Street
Just up from the wishing well
Drops a penny in
Just to have a splash
He works in Earnest Street
Just up from the debt collectors
Always pays by cheque
So he′s got the cash, got his

Money for life
Money for living
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Money for life
Money to save
Money to spend


He always does his best
To do what everybody tells him to
He always finds that it's
Better that way
He plays in Passion Park
Along with all his healthy friends
He always does his best
To be like them

He′s got his
Money for life
Money for living
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Money for life
Money to save
Money to spend

He's got his
Money for life
Money for living
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Money for life
Money to save
Money to spend


He prays in Church Street
Because all his teachers told him to
He always does his best to do
Just what they said
He thinks in vacant lots
Just up from the local church
He always finds that he's
Happier there, with his

Money for life
Money for living
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Money for life
Money to save
Money to spend
He′s got his
Money for life
Money for living
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Money for life
Money to save
Money to spend

Who said crime doesn′t pay?
