Scene:into flash's den - a night club | |
Scene:in flash's den, a night club partly converted into an office. | |
Sung by flash, floosies and spivs: | |
Show me a man who says he can live without bread | |
And i'll show you a man who's a liar and in debt. | |
There's no one alive who can't be purchased or enticed | |
There's no man alive who wouldn't sell for a price, | |
Money talks and we're the living proof, | |
There ain't no limit to what money can do | |
Money talks, money talks. | |
Money can't breathe and money can't see, | |
But when i pull out a fiver people listen to me. | |
Money can't run and money can't walk, | |
But when i write out a cheque i swear to god i hear money talk. | |
Money talks and, baby, when you've been bought | |
You pay attention everytime money talks. | |
Money talks, money talks. | |
Money talks and there's no doubt about it | |
Money talks and we can't live without it, | |
What's the point of living unless you've got money? | |
I just couldn't function without money. | |
Money talks, money talks, | |
Money talks, money talks. | |
Show me an upright respected man | |
And i'll have him licking my boots when i put money in his hand. | |
It rots your heart, it gets to your soul, | |
Before you know where you are you're a slave to the green gold. | |
Money talks and we're the living proof | |
There ain't no limit to what money can do. | |
Money talks you out of your self-respect, | |
The more you crave it the cheaper you get. | |
Money talks, money talks. | |
Money buys you time and people listen, | |
Money can buy a smile and make life worth living. | |
If you're ugly money can improve you. | |
I just couldn't face the world without mazuma. | |
Money talks, money talks. |
