It’s Only Money (John Peel session, 1974) Songtext
von Thin Lizzy

You don′t believe in love
You don't believe in hatred
Put your money in the bank
It′s the only way to save it

You try to make a buck
But you haven't made a penny
You need a little luck
But you know you won't get any

You don′t believe in God
You don′t believe in glory
You've got a brother in the clinic
Tells the same kind of story


If he had another life
You′d know what would be waiting
If you had another soul
He could sell it all to Satan

It's only money
It′s only money
It's only money

You don′t believe in war
You don't believe in Jesus
Got a sister in New York
You know how she pleases

Walking the streets
On the south side of the city
Trying to make ends meet
Isn't that a pity

For money
