Lyrics and translation
Original
Pulled by the money, pulled by some love
Invisible forces from below and above
I sent you a poem, I asked what it means
It's the kinda language that you read in-between
What lives in a cycle? What gets renewed?
What starts to expire? What's feeling past due?
I tried to be honest, I am what I am
But if everything's changing, I'll do the best that I can
What are you spending?
How much are you saving?
How much money in the bank
Will it take until you're sleeping like a baby, baby?
I want the power to the people 'cept when the people get dumb
Are you some pinko socialist living under his thumb?
I want my money, want my freedom, want somebody in charge
I want somebody to blame when it all falls apart
What are you spending?
How much are you saving?
How much money in the bank
Will it take until you're sleeping like a baby, baby?
Are you listening to God like he's got something to say?
Were you leaving out the parts that only got in the way?
And you finish what you started, that's the rule you obey?
And there's nothing gonna stop you, gonna stop you, gonna stop destiny
What are you spending?
How much are you saving?
How much money in the bank
Will it take until you're sleeping like a baby, baby?
What are you spending?
How much are you saving?
How much money in the bank
Will it take until you're sleeping like a baby, baby?
