The Moneygoround Lyrics - Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround, Vol. 1 - Kinks

Robert owes half to Grenville 

Who in turn gave half to Larry, who 

Adored my instrumentals 

And so he gave half to a foreign publisher 

He took half the money 

That was earned in some far distant land 

Gave back half to Larry 

And I end up with half of goodness knows what 

Can somebody explain 

Why things go on this way 

I thought they were my friends 

I can't believe it's me 

I can't believe that I'm so green

Eyes down round and round 

Let's all sit and watch the moneygoround 

Everyone take a little bit here and a little bit there 

Do they all deserve 

Money from a song that they've never heard 

They don't know the tune, and they don't know the words, but they don't give a damn 

There's no end to it I'm in a pit and I'm stuck in it 

The money goes round and around and around 

And it comes out here 

When they've all taken their share 

Photos 

I went to see a solicitor and my story was heard and the writs were served 

On the verge of a nervous breakdown, I decided to fight right to the end 

But if I ever get my money I'll be too old and grey to spend it 

Oh, but life goes on and on, and no one ever wins 

And time goes quickly by, just like the moneygoround 

I only hope that I'll survive...
