For Love of Money Lyrics

Here we are scrambling and scraping by

For more green, obscene printed all-seeing eyes

But those Paper Eagles won't bring any happiness

They only obscure and render us meaningless

I won't give in and give over what others would do

For love of money

I'd rather meander the passage less traveled with you

However slowly

Day to day regrets and broken teeth

But I can't let go of how I want to be

And I'm taking all of it in with sad but kindly eyes

And try to deny all the misery that only dollars can buy

I won't give in and give over what others would do

For love of money

I'd rather meander the passage less traveled with you

However slowly

Can we ever escape from the margins

Without giving up truth in the bargain

A will and a way to preserve our care

And if we ever got all we wanted

Would we take it and hit the ground running

Take the win without losing ourselves somewhere

I won't give in and give over what others would do

For love of money

I'd rather meander the passage less traveled with you

However slowly
