Moneys Too Tight to Mention — текст песни (Simply Red)

I been laid off from work my rent is due

My kids all need brand new shoes

So I went to the bank to see what they could do

They said son looks like bad luck got a hold on you



Moneys too tight to mention

I cant get an unemployment extension

Moneys too tight to mention



I went to my brother to see what he could do

He said brother Id like to help but Im unable to

So called on my father, father

Almighty father, he said



Moneys too tight to mention

Oh money money money money

Moneys too tight to mention

I cant even qualify for my pension



Were talking bout reaganomics

Oh lord down in the congress

Theyre passing all kinds of bills

From up there on capitol hill, weve tried it



Moneys too tight to mention

Oh money money money money

Moneys too tight to mention

Cutbacks!



Were talking bout the dollar bill

And that old man whos over the hill

Now what are we all to do

When moneys got a hold on you



Moneys too tight etc.



Were talking bout money money

Were talking bout money money
