Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Big money goes around the world
Big money underground
Big money got a mighty voice
Big money make no sound
[Verse 2]
Big money pull a million strings
Big money hold the prize
Big money weave a mighty web
Big money draw the flies
[Verse 3]
Sometimes pushing people around
Sometimes pulling out the rug
Sometimes pushing all the buttons
Sometimes pulling out the plug
[Verse 4]
It's the power and the glory
It's a war in paradise
A Cinderella story
On a tumble of the dice
[Verse 5]
Big money goes around the world
Big money take a cruise
Big money leave a mighty wake
Big money leave a bruise
[Verse 6]
Big money make a million dreams
Big money spin big deals
Big money make a mighty head
Big money spin big wheels
[Verse 7]
Sometimes building ivory towers
Sometimes knocking castles down
Sometimes building you a stairway
Lock you underground
[Verse 8]
It's that old time religion
It's the kingdom they would rule
It's that fool on television
Getting paid to play the fool
[Verse 9]
It's the power and the glory
It's a war in paradise
A Cinderella story
On a tumble of the dice
[Verse 10]
Big money goes around the world
Big money give and take
Big money done a power of good
Big money make mistakes
[Verse 11]
Big money got a heavy hand
Big money take control
Big money got a mean streak
Big money got no soul
