Cadillac on the interstate
Says, "Son, I'm gonna make you rich"
"Just put your shoulder in a sling
We're gonna take his butt to court
An take everything he makes"
'Cause it's all about the money
There's a local politician
He'd put two chickens in every pot
And pave all the county roads
But we ain't seen that son of a gun
Since the day he raised his hand
We're still dodging pot holes
Eatin' potted meat and spam
'Cause it's all about the money
All you used to need to make a deal
But now they look you in the eye
And tell you big ol' bold faced lies
Are movin' in for the kill
'Cause it's all about the money
They say they're your best friends
As longs as you're buying the rounds
They'll tell you jokes and light your smokes
But as soon as you hit some hard times
And the good times disappear
You're all alone and they're all gone
And one thing is so clear
