To Be Money by Jed Whedon and the Willing Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Piece above the fireplace
For which they paid a mint
Polish it so I can see myself
In the silver finished print
Plant a tree, watch it grow
Cut it down to size

[Pre-Chorus]
See the chest is hollow
Profit by all means
And cover my eyes

[Chorus]
To be money

[Verse 2]
Harlequin mobile above the cradle turns
Lesson one it's the first true thing
That the little baby learns
Lead the rest will follow
Say I love you, I don't mean it
[Pre-Chorus]
See the chest is hollow
Profit by all means
And cover my eyes

[Chorus]
To be money
To be money

[Bridge]
In in my hand there lies a smoking Tommy gun
And you hold your pistol high, a finger and a thumb
Shows you can't even fantasize a thing that fires more than one by one
The rest will
Say I love you, they don't mean it

[Pre-Chorus]
See the chest is hollow
Profit by all means
And cover my eyes

[Chorus]
To be money
To be money
