Makin' Music For Money |
| When I woke up this morning |
| I was tired as I could be |
| I think I was counting my money |
| When I should have been counting sheep |
| My agent he just called me |
| And told me what I should be |
| If I would make my music for money |
| Instead of making music for me |
| I said I know that this may sound funny |
| But money don’t mean nothin' to me |
| I won’t make my music for money, no |
| I’m gonna make my music for me |
| He said that people only buy the love songs |
| Rock and roll is not too long |
| He said kid you got to be commerical |
| If you want to turn the people on |
| And I said turning on the people |
| Now that’s a beautiful place to be |
| But if I spend my time makin' memorable rhyme |
| Well who’s gonna turn on me? |
| I said I know that this may sound funny |
| But money don’t mean nothin' to me |
| I won’t make my music for money, no |
| I’m gonna make my music for me |
| Well now, I went up the country |
| And I’ll tell you all about the scene |
| I found a place with much charm and much grace |
| That was untouched by the music machine |
| Well the people where havin' a good time |
| Everybody singing along |
| And nobody cared if they ever got paid |
| One penny for playin' a song |
| I said I know that this may sound funny |
| But money don’t mean nothin' to me |
| I won’t make my music for money, no |
| I’m gonna make my music for me |
