Styx - More Love For The Money lyrics

rate me

The cats were on the table

They were waiting for their dinner

‘til the children came and shooed them all away

Daddy's at the racetrack

Desperate just to pick one winner

Will he ever be their hero of the day

Mom paid the price

She sacrificed for nothing of value

And why is it I buy this shit

That nobody wants to

More love for the money

That's all I'm after

More Buzz for the honey

And a bit more laughter

Why is that so much to ask

More for the money

Baby better get mine fast

At the mall again

I'm feeling desperate and uncertain

God it's got to be here somewhere I believe

My demographic profile

Knows it's show time

Raise the curtain

Start the comedy and let me be naive

A circus flea from A to B

I jump for my keeper

In search of true enlightenment

For ten per cent cheaper

More love for the money

That's all I'm after

More Buzz for the honey

And a bit more laughter

Why is that so much to ask

More for the money

Price had better come down fast

If there's a place beyond these shadows

Of this dreary road I tread

Then for me that's all that matters

Just the promise of arriving

Maybe getting there before I'm dead

More love

More love for the money

Now keep it coming

More buzz for the honey

They'll all come running

Put it right here in my hand

More for the money

Get me to the promised land

More for the money

Get me to the promised land
