I'd Rather Be Rich

I'd rather be rich, it sounds a little funny If diggin' a ditch would earn me lots of money I'd dig like a fool in the land of milk and honey Where every thing's cool Provided you have money, yeah, yeah, yeah I'd rather be rich, just short of being greedy I'm eager to switch, to hell with being needy I'd rather be rich, the truth of cash is tragic The system's a bitch But money works like magic, yeah, yeah, yeah Money makes the world go round Buy and sell it by the pound Bitter truth that I have found Food to eat, shoes on your feet Maybe some heat, you live with defeat Money gets you justice, money sets you free Money makes it possible to be or not to be Money is the power, money is the key Sad and so unfortunate But real as it can be, yeah, yeah, yeah I'd rather be rich, than what the other choice is My thumb out to hitch, or riding in Rolls Royces 'Cause I ain't no fool in the land of milk and honey Where every thing's cool Until you lose your money, yeah, yeah, yeah
