|
Ain't it kinda funny that there's always been money, |
|
Changin' hands all over the world, |
|
I always thought the best things in life were free, |
|
Now, I may be square, but it don't seem fair, |
|
What there pickin' in this pocket of mine, |
|
And a dollar for a donut ain't to far down the line |
|
Chorus: What's the story, old glory?, |
|
How come your turning green?, |
|
In the land of milk and honey, you've got to have money, |
|
I bet you know what |
|
I mean Even though we're willin, we can't have any children |
|
Cause there ain't nobody home night or day, |
|
Working eighty hours and still too many bills to pay, |
|
Well, I got my car but |
|
I can't get far, |
|
On a dollar's worth of gasoline, |
|
I even give up my subscription to |
|
Rolling Stone magazine |
|
Chorus: So, what's the story, old glory, |
|
How come your turning green?, |
|
In the land of milk and honey, you've got to have money, |
|
I bet you know what |
|
I mean Chorus: |
|
What's the story, old glory?, |
|
How come your turning green?, |
|
In the land of milk and honey, you've got to have money, |
|
I bet you know what |
|
I mean Now ain't it a sin how the |
|
Japanese yen, |
|
Had driven down our dollar bill, |
|
It'd gettin' harder to find somethin' made in the |
|
U. S. of A., |
|
So ride your |
|
Kawasaki and eat your teriyaki, |
|
I'll tell you what they're gonna do, |
|
It won't be long till they're buying me up and you |
|
Chorus: So, what's the story, old glory, |
|
How come your turning green?, |
|
In the land of milk and honey, you've got to have money, |
|
I bet you know what |
|
I mean Chorus: |
|
What's the story, old glory?, |
|
How come your turning green?, |
|
In the land of milk and honey, you've got to have money, |
|
I bet you know what |
|
I, I bet you know what |
|
I, I bet you know what |
|
I mean |
