Lyrics - Money FKN Stinks

wrote this at a mates house, a couple of years later i drank some whiskey and fixed the last verse.

You can watch a video of this song recorded in my lounge room here.

*****
when i was young my parents would take me
to sit in the car with my sister and brother
as they went into social security
and when they came out
they always seemed stressed about
having to ask the government for money

CHORUS
money stinks
when you're on the centrelink
money stinks
when you're bloody poor
money stinks
it always makes you think
about how much ya got left
and how ya always want some more

when i go to get some food from my local IGA
i like talkin to strangers but money it changes it
the money always gets in the way
instead of lookin the person behind the counter in the eyes
in the eyes of my fellow man
instead i'm lookin down
lookin down
countin the change in my hand

money stinks
when you're on the centrelink
money stinks
it makes ya insecure
money stinks
it always makes you think
about how much ya got left
and how ya always want some more

Money it seems
it exists as a barrier between
food water and shelter
for vast majority of humanity
so the best way to fix the class war
between the rich and the poor
is to get rid of the money (the cash!)
burn down the banks
so we can all have more


money stinks
when you're on the centrelink
money stinks
when you're fuckin poor
money stinks
it always makes you think
about how much ya got left
and how ya always want some more
