Money Talks Lyrics - The Alan Parsons Project

Money don't grow on a money tree 

The more you take, even less for me 

Money don't buy what you really need 

It make an iceman cry, make a stone man bleed 

But when you get right down to it, no matter who you are 

It rules your life like a virgin queen 

One day you might get over it but in the meantime 

It rules the world like a green machine 

In the bank, in a box, money talks 

In the black, on the rocks, money talks, money talks 

Money don't lose in the money game 

It drags you down like a ball and chain 

So money don't come with a guarantee 

It make a fool of you, it make a fool of me 

But when you get right down to it, no matter what you say 

It ties you down but it can set you free, yeah 

Some day you might get over it but in the meantime 

It burns you up in the first degree 

Moscow, Bangkok, money talk 

Park Lane, Boardwalk, money talk 

But when you get right down to it, no matter what you try 

You deal the cards, give the wheel a spin 

One day you might get over it but everybody knows 

It's heads you lose and it's tails they win, yeah 

Don't have too much to show for it, that's the way it goes 

You roll the dice and they cash you in 

Pinball, jukebox, money talks 

Redskins, White Sox, money talks 

Billboard, cash box, money talks
