Making Music For Money

5 views

Lyrics

I woke up this morning
 I was tired as I could be
 I guess I was counting my money
 When I should have been counting sheep
 My agent, he just called me
 And then told me what I should be
 He said that I should make my music for money
 Instead of making my music for me
 And I said I know that it may sound funny
 But money don't mean nothin' to me
 I won't make my music for money
 I'm gonna make my music for me
 Now people only like the love songs
 Rock and rollin' not too long
 He said, kid you got to be commerical
 If you wanna turn the people on
 Now turning on the people
 What a beautiful place to be
 But if I spend my time makin' memorable rhyme
 Who's gonna turn on me?
 And I said I know that it may sound funny
 But money don't mean nothin' to me
 I won't make my music for money
 I'm gonna make my music for me
 ♪
 Now, I went up the country
 And I'll tell you about the scene
 I found a place with much charm and much grace
 Was untouched by the music machine
 The people where havin' a good time
 Everybody singing along
 And nobody cared if nobody gave
 One more penny for singin' a song
 And I said I know that it may sound funny
 But money don't mean nothin' to me
 I won't make my music for money
 I'm gonna make my music for me
 I said I know that it may sound funny, yeah
 Money don't mean nothin' to me
 I won't make my music for money
 I'm gonna make my music for, make my music for
 Make my music for me
