Money Blues

 “Hey Joe Play that tune,”

I just got paid and all my money is gone.

Kids keep crying, I told them to pay for their own phone.

The world keeps spinning and politics keeps winning.

Joe keeps asking me for money and the reverend is calling, but I keep sinning.

I got the money blues, money bluuuuuess, yeah.

I ain’t getting no lovin because I’m afraid of what it will do to me.

Momma’s dead and she left me with the bill to pay Fred.

I got the money bluuuues, money bluuuues that won’t go away.

I’m grateful for another day so I guess there’s no need to pray.

I got the money bluuuues, the money bluuues.

I just got a check but the bank holds it for seven days.

I can’t pay my bills on time so I guess I’ll borrow it from Shay.

She told me it will come with interest, I’m disapproved, maybe next time it will go my way.

I got the money bluuues the money bluuues.

I went to college and lord knows I still have to pay.

That attorney told me to sue, but I changed my mind because they need money too.

I got the money bluuuues, money bluuuues oooo weee.

I just got a spam call and I hung up for free.

Even my rich friends are hounding me.

I got the money bluuues, money bluuuuuuues.

“Alright Joe, that’s a wrap, tell the band I’ll pay them once I get my check.
