The Money and The Alcohol

from Golden Delicious by Laura Meyer

/

lyrics

I respect the money like the alcohol
With a mixture of wanting and of fear
I respect the money cause I know it’s in control
When I can’t wipe my eyes clear

I respect the money like the alcohol
They say to keep your enemies near
I respect the money, try to do what it wants
Until it disappears

What’s that lurking in the shadows now
I think I see a friend
Why don’t you go ahead and check it out
While I sit here on the mend

I respect the money like the alcohol
There’s a lot of things that people do for beer
I respect the money cause I’ve seen what it does
And I try my best to stay clear
