The Smell of Money — текст песни (Todd Rundgren)

My boy I say youre unaware of

Things that I am unaware of

The things they say behind ones back

That you suspect but arent quite sure of

Dont say you havent noticed



The smell of money is all about me

I just cant rid myself

Of its overpowering bouquet

My inner beauty cursed with obscurity

By a scent that cant be washed away



I dont know who you think I am

But if Im who I think I am

Then theres no cranny Ive examined

Taints the air where ere I am

But dont say you havent noticed



The smell of money wafts all about me

It neutralizes any other odors I convey

Best friends wont tell me

They know Im suffering

With a scent that cant be washed away



The stench of money

Is reeking off of me

A mix of cheap cologne

Weasel pheromone and rotted grave

Thank dad and mommy

Im filthy, stinking rich

So I can say to you "piss off"

I bathe, I bathe
