Money Lyrics - Smile - Laura Nyro

She said 

I'm young enough 

I'm old enough 

To paint a smile 

I tasted heaven and hell 

Heaven, stay a while 

A good friend 

Is a rare find 

Their straight talk 

Can ease your mind 

A good pimp's 

Gonna rob you blind 

Money money money 

I feel like a pawn 

In my own world 

I found the system 

And I lost the pearl 

It's breaking me down 

Well, you don't wake 

You don't shake 

You just make the sound 

Go round and round and round 

And round 

Bleed a little 

Bleed a little 

Till your freedom calls you 

Somewhere out 

Children laugh 

Like meteors 

Rolling down the grass 

Mothers pull the nighttime in 

Calling their children 

With spoons in the wind 

But not for me 

She said 

I'm young enough 

I'm old enough 

In the city machine 

Where industries 

Fill the fish 

Full of mercury 

(It's tax-free) 

She said 

My struggle hurt 

But it turned me on 

And when my revolution came 

The chain was gone 

On my feet 

To the sound of my heartbeat 

Money money money 

Do you feel like a pawn 

In your own world? 

You found the system 

And you lost the pearl 

Like leaves coming down 

You've got to wake, shake 

Make your vibe go round 

And round and round and round
