letra de money and musicians - valerie vigoda

Loading...

[kat]
don’t you give your money to no explorer
adventure fills the heart but not the purse
oh, he’ll tell you there’ll be riches

[shackleton]
and the polar ice bewitches

[kat]
but you’ll lose your shirt and all your cash or worse

[shackleton]
don’t you give your money to no musician
they’ll blow it all on guitar strings and bread
if you want a sound investment

[kat]
then your money will be best spent

[kat/shackleton]
on a slot machine or roulette wheel instead

[shackleton]
they’ll tell you anything to change your mind
tell you how they’re in a bind
how they’re on the verge of something great

[kat/shackleton]
then they’ll promise you the moon
the rent comes due, they change their tune
and then you realize it’s much too late

[kat]
oh, never give your money to no musician!

[shackleton, spoken]
or explorer!

[kat]
don’t give us dollars, shekels, pesos, pounds, or yen

[shackleton]
’cause despite our best intentions

[kat]
you’ll need legal interventions

[shackleton]
if you ever want that money back again

[kat/shackleton]
’cause you know we ain’t like other folks
we push and pull and pry and coax
the beauty from the boring and mundane
we don’t know from financial things
we live like paupers, dream like kings
and everybody thinks that we’re insane

better brilliant-er and broke-er
than well-off and mediocre
we’ll be better off without it anyway
better dirt poor and inspired
than all rich and fat and tired
down and out musicians and explorers
that’s how we’re gonna stay, yeah!
