Said that he would answer every need |
|
said that we could trust him and believe |
|
if your God hasn't found an answer yet |
|
you better find a way to hedge your bets |
|
got to make yourself a name |
|
cross your fingers for that lucky break |
|
Too insecure to live by faith |
|
we're always looking for some other way |
|
Shake, shake, shake the money tree |
|
shake, shake, shake the money tree |
|
trusting in our wealth |
|
trusting in ourselves |
|
shake, shake, shake the money tree |
|
Contentment is a secret we can learn |
|
regardless of the money that we earn |
|
doesn't come by rising in the world |
|
comes by taking Jesus at his word |
|
he has promised to provide |
|
everything we need for life |
|
now we're caught inside a living lie |
|
(bridge) |
|
(chorus) |
|
You gotta-gotta raise that sex appeal |
|
you gotta-gotta work that business deal |
|
you got to change what you cannot steal |
|
deep inside you're scrounging for a meal |
|
made a perfect idol of your wealth |
|
everyman and woman for themselves |
|
you burn your conscience on the cornershelf |
|
you're dying while you're trusting in yourself |
|
From the album... 'Tony Vincent'. |
