Cost
Money makes the world go round
Faster everyday
Money makes the world go round
Well, now it’s time to pay.
Pay with every child
Giving up his dreams
When he can’t afford knowledge
After reaching his late teens.
Pay with every husband
Getting forceful with his spouse
When she’s bought too many purses
And he can’t afford the house.
Pay with every patient
Getting deathly ill
Worried for her life
But also worried for her bill.
Pay with every mugger
Round’ the corner with a knife
Prepared to steal a wallet, steal a purse
Or steal a life.
Money makes the world go round
Buy it or it’s lost.
Money makes the world go round.
Now stop and see the cost.Money makes the world go round
Faster everyday
Money makes the world go round
Well, now it’s time to pay.
Pay with every child
Giving up his dreams
When he can’t afford knowledge
After reaching his late teens.
Pay with every husband
Getting forceful with his spouse
When she’s bought too many purses
And he can’t afford the house.
Pay with every patient
Getting deathly ill
Worried for her life
But also worried for her bill.
Pay with every mugger
Round’ the corner with a knife
Prepared to steal a wallet, steal a purse
Or steal a life.
Money makes the world go round
Buy it or it’s lost.
Money makes the world go round.
Now stop and see the cost.
