What's The Story, Old Glory Lyrics - Molly Hatchet

Ain't it kinda funny that there's always been money 

Changin' hands all over the world 

I always thought that the best things in life were free 

Now I may be square but it don't seem fair 

What they pickin' from this pocket of mine 

And a dollar for a donut ain't too far down the line 

What's the story, old glory 

How come you're turnin' green? 

In the land of milk and honey 

You've got to have money 

I bet you know what I mean 

Even though we're willin', we can't have any children 

'Cause there ain't nobody home night or day 

Workin' eighty hours and still too many bills to pay 

Well, I got my car but I can't get far on a dollar's worth of gasoline 

I even gave up my subscription to the Rolling Stone magazine 

So what's the story, old glory 

How come you're turnin' green? 

In the land of milk and honey 

You've got to have money 

I'm singin', you know what I mean 

And you know what I'm talkin' about 

I'm talkin' about USA dollar bill [Incomprehensible] 

Oh, playin' my guitar 

What's the story, old glory 

How come you're turnin' green? 

In the land of milk and honey 

You've got to have that money 

And so you know what I mean 

Now ain't it a sin how the Japanese yen 

Has driven down our dollar bill 

It'd gettin' harder to find somethin' made in the U. S. of A. 

So ride your Kawasaki and eat your teriyaki 

I'll tell you what they're gonna do 

It won't be long till they're buyin' up me and you 

So what's the story, old glory 

How come you're turnin' green? 

In the land of milk and honey 

You've got to have money 

I bet you know what I mean 

What's the story, old glory 

How come you're turnin' green? 

In the land of milk and honey 

You've got to have that money 

I think you know what I 

I guess you know what I 

I know you know what I mean
