Make my house of bricks and I'll stick here
When the [bad word] crashing down around me
Make your arms a willow tree
And you can bend with me anywhere I'm going

Sometimes it's hard to see anything lovely
All the people around me
Going for the money and the money and the ego

How can you ask me why I need to know before I try?
I've got to be sure there's more
Than the money and the money and the ego

Keep your eyes on me
And I'll look to you so I can see what I am here for
Pull the wool over my eyes
Please kiss this day goodbye, only you can get me going

Sometimes it's hard to see anything lovely
All the people around me
Going for the money and the money and the ego

How can you ask me why I need to know before I try?
I've got to be sure there's more
Than the money and the money and the ego

When giving up is all you got and giving up is all you want
You hear yourself say you lost the will, the power
When giving up is all you got and giving up is all you want
Don't be afraid to sit down in your shower
You can stay in there for hours

Make my house of bricks and I'll stick here
When the [bad word] crashing down around me

Sometimes it's hard to see anything lovely
All the people around me
Going for the money and the money and the ego

How can you ask me why I need to know before I try?
I've got to be sure there's more
Than the money and the money and the ego

Got to be sure there's more
Money and the money and the ego
Got to be sure there's more
Money and the money and the ego
