Lyrics
It was a win win
It was a sure thing
Give you money, watch it grow
But all wasn't quite what it seemed
Now everybody knows
It was a big hoax
It was a cruel joke
Since the day you crossed that line
You can hurt those who trust you the most
If you're just chasin' the almighty dollar sign
Chorus:
You knew that lies and pretend
Could get you in the end
And it's been a long time comin'
That payback day your feared
It's been a long time comin'
But now that day is here
Your freedom's taken
Your world is shaken
Might be a good time for you pray
To search for a voice deep inside
Hear what it has to say
Without real giving
This life we're living
Has no rhythm, has no rhyme
You can't find what your heart needs to find
If you're just chasin' the almighty dollar sign
Repeat Chorus
Without real giving
This life we're living
Has no rhythm, has no rhyme
You can't find what your heart needs to find
If you're just chasin' the almighty dollar sign
No you can't find what your heart needs to find
If you're just chasin' the almighty dollar sign
