  • It's Money That Matters by Randy Newman Lyrics



    Of all of the people that I used to know
    Most never adjusted to the great big world
    I see them lurking in book stores
    Working for the Public Radio
    Carrying their babies around in a sack on their back
    Moving careful and slow

    (Chorus)
    It's money that matters
    Hear what I say
    It's money that matters
    In the USA

    All of these people are much brighter than I
    In any fair system they would flourish and thrive
    But they barely survive
    They eke out a living and they barely survive

    When I was a young boy, maybe thirteen
    I took a hard look around me and asked what does it mean?
    So I talked to my father, and he didn't know
    And I talked to my friend and he didn't know
    And I talked to my brother and he didn't know
    And I talked to everybody that I knew

    (Chorus)
    It's money that matters
    Now you know that it's true
    It's money that matters
    Whatever you do

    Then I talked to a man lived up on the county line
    I was washing his car with a friend of mine
    He was a little fat guy in a red jumpsuit
    I said "You look kind of funny"
    He said "I know that I do"

    "But I got a great big house on the hill here
    And a great big blonde wife inside it
    And a great big pool in my backyard and another great big pool
    beside it
    Sonny it's money that matters, hear what I say
    It's money that matters in the USA
    It's money that matters
    Now you know that it's true
    It's money that matters whatever you do"
