Funny Money Lyrics

These days, I'm paying bills with Monopoly money

Inflation going crazy. Now, ain't that funny

I ain't seen my paycheck going up in many years

Tax man is looking for another increase

Can't afford a better house. I'm trapped in here

Neighbors throwing driveway parties till 4am on weeknights

Often think of this as a prison or a purgatory life

Praying for salvation, searching for a brighter side

But no one's gonna rescue anyone. This game is rigged against you

The only thing that's guaranteed. Is the government

Will one day make you bleed

Funny money, honey, is the only kind

Where I pretend that I can have a better life

One where I'm not just making my way out on work release

Where nothing in this life is ever guaranteed

When Uncle Sam is calling for a sacrifice

But they took your means of working for a better life

Just turn on your tv to drown out all the broken loneliness

And give up all your money to the government

You try to make a better life, but your own

You feel like moss growing fat on a rolling stone

Weimer kinda wants their story back

It was stolen by the fascists and the autocrats

If it wasn't so damn tragic, I might take a sec to laugh

Well, how 'bout that

Funny money, honey, is the only kind

Where I pretend that I can have a better life

One where I'm not just making my way out on work release

Where nothing in this life is ever guaranteed

When Uncle Sam is calling for a sacrifice

But they took your means of working for a better life

Just turn on your tv to drown out all the broken loneliness

And give up all your money to the government

Funny money, honey, is the only kind

Where I pretend that I can have a better life

One where I'm not just making my way out on work release

Where nothing in this life is ever guaranteed

When Uncle Sam is calling for a sacrifice

But they took your means of working for a better life

Just turn on your tv to drown out all the broken loneliness

And give up all your money to the government
