I'd rather be rich it sounds a little funny
If diggin' a ditch would earn me lots of money
I'd dig like a fool in the land of milk and honey
Where everything's cool provided you have money yeah yeah yeah

I'd rather be rich just short of being greedy
I'm eager to switch to hell with being needy
I'd rather be rich the truth of cash is tragic
The system's a ***** but money works like magic yeah yeah yeah

Money makes the world go round

Buy and sell it by the pound

Bitter truth that I have found
Food to eat shoes on your feet
Maybe some heat you live with defeat

Money gets you justice money sets you free

Money makes it possible to be or not to be
Money is the power money is the key

Sad and so unfortunate but real as it can be yeah yeah yeah

I'd rather be rich than what the other choice is
My thumb out to hitch or riding in rolls royces
'Cause I ain't no fool in the land of milk and honey
Where everything's cool until you lose your money
