Leon Jackson - Money - In This House

These buildings grow like weeds
Like dandelion seeds
They spring up where they please

Buildings grow up, they come down
Changing the landscape of this town
What's inside them is what counts to me

Well is there love in this house?
Is there love in this house?
You can fill it up with shiny things
Flashy fur, designer jeans
But is there love in this house?

Oh what you gonna do baby
When the money runs out?
What you gonna do baby?
Oh what you gonna do baby
When the money runs out?
Money.

Money matters when you're broke, when you're broke
And money fixes for awhile.
If you got money if your wallet you got permission
To enjoy yourself for awhile.

Money burns, money turns the very best into the worst criminal child
Money matters, money kills, money makes the world go round
Money, money ain't the villain
Money it's greed that's the killer
Money, money ain't the villain
Money, it's greed that's the killer

Dollar bills buying pills giving thrills in the evening sunset light
Middle seat in the back in between a couple hooligans sunset light
Light em up let em down i'm going downtown to find some play tonight
Dollar bills give em thrills in the back of their best friends ride

Money, money ain't the villain
Money it's greed that's the killer
Money, money ain't the villain
Money, it's greed that's the killer

(harmonies)

Penny, quarter, nickel and dime
How you make change without money
Penny, quarter, nickel and dime
How you make change tell me how you make change without money

Money ain't the villain
Money, it's greed that's the killer
Money, money ain't the villain no
Money, it's greed that's the killer

Penny, quarter, nickel and dime
How you make change without money
