Kinks - Money Talks - Текст песни

Scene: into flashs den - a night club

Scene: in flashs den, a night club partly converted into an office.

Sung by flash, floosies and spivs:

Show me a man who says he can live without bread

And Ill show you a man whos a liar and in debt.

Theres no one alive who cant be purchased or enticed

Theres no man alive who wouldnt sell for a price,

Money talks and were the living proof,

There aint no limit to what money can do

Money talks, money talks.

Money cant breathe and money cant see,

But when I pull out a fiver people listen to me.

Money cant run and money cant walk,

But when I write out a cheque I swear to God I hear money talk.

Money talks and, baby, when youve been bought

You pay attention everytime money talks.

Money talks, money talks.

Money talks and theres no doubt about it

Money talks and we cant live without it,

Whats the point of living unless youve got money? 

I just couldnt function without money.

Money talks, money talks,

Money talks, money talks.

Show me an upright respected man

And Ill have him licking my boots when I put money in his hand.

It rots your heart, it gets to your soul,

Before you know where you are youre a slave to the green gold.

Money talks and were the living proof

There aint no limit to what money can do.

Money talks you out of your self-respect,

The more you crave it the cheaper you get.

Money talks, money talks.

Money buys you time and people listen,

Money can buy a smile and make life worth living.

If youre ugly money can improve you.

I just couldnt face the world without mazuma.

Money talks, money talks.
