Living our daily lives |
|
Watching the world go around |
|
Talking about the wife |
|
Inviting the neighbours 'round |
|
"Money wouldn't change us!" we'd be saying |
|
"Money wouldn't make us!" but we'd be praying |
|
And now you've thrown our principles away |
|
Because it's come your way |
|
The water is hot and clean |
|
It's wiping the dirt away |
|
The work is very hard |
|
But you said you'd stay |
|
Because after all, what would you do |
|
With so much time, it just isn't you |
|
To just let fame and fortune run the show |
|
But we both know |
|
Just remember who you were only yesterday |
|
Because now you're speaking down to me |
|
Like I'm a thousand miles away |
|
He was always very kind |
|
Always such a gentleman |
|
But since his lucky day |
|
He wasn't worth the skin |
|
He was printed on |
|
Money wouldn't change him, he'd be saying |
|
Money wouldn't take him, but he'd be praying |
|
And now he's thrown our principles away |
|
Cause it's come his way |
|
Just remember who you were only yesterday |
|
Because now you're speaking down to me |
|
Like I'm a thousand miles away |
