about

In a perfect world, this should have been a hit single ... but again, the world is seldom perfect.

lyrics

Jeff got a job in his spare time
Holding some photographer’s flash
A hundred bucks a wedding he’s doing just fine
And he don’t know what he’ll do with all the cash
There’s Just So Much I Don’t Know What To Do With It he says
Maybe I’ll Buy Myself A Car
Well Jeff old pal think about your old friends
Who desperately need bucks to make a start

Everybody’s in the money
Everybody but us

Uptown folks trade in their Cadillacs
Because the ashtrays got full
They blow all their “spare change” at the racetracks
Hard earned from the deals that they pulled
Caviar champagne rolls royce cocaine
Easy money blown away on junk
That they can’t take it with them, it’s all in vain
Why can’t they help out folks like us, stuck in the dump?!

Everybody’s in the money
Everybody but us

Holy Land refugee
Becomes a millionaire overnight
She won the New York lottery
But in spite of it all she’s uptight
‘Cause once the state takes its cut
She’ll “only” get two fifty grand a year (ain’t that a shame)
Just think what we could do with just a tenth of her glut
It would be more than enough to start our career

Everybody’s in the money
Everybody but us
