Money (In God We Trust) Lyrics

Hallelujah

Now I lay, I lay me down to sleep
Hallelujah
Almighty dollar
I praise the Lord afford my roll to keep
Hallelujah
Almighty dollar

Money
I need more money
Just a little more money
Yeah, I need more money
Money, money
I need more money
I need more money
Just a little more money
Just a little more money
Yeah, I need more money
Yeah, I need more money

And give us these days
Our daily bread
Only you we praise
Almighty dollar

Money
My personal saviour
Money
A material lust
Money
Life's only treasure
Money
In God we trust

And if I should die before I wake
Hallelujah
Almight dollar
I'm gonna take the money that I make
Hallelujah
Almighty dollar

Money
I need more money
Just a little more money
Yeah, I need more money
Money, money
I need more money
I need more money
Just a little more money
Just a little more money
Yeah, I need more money
Yeah, I need more money

And give us these days
Our daily bread
Only you we praise
Almighty dollar

Money
My personal saviour
Money
A material lust
Money
Life's only treasure
Money
In God we trust

"If I die before I wake I'm gonna take all my fucking money with me!" lol

An error occured.

I think this song is about how people care far too much about money. The world is too obsessed with money and material things and forgetting about what really matters.

My Interpretation
An error occured.

I can't believe no one ever commented on this song. It's brilliant. It's a snarky satire about America's core value placed on money and the idea that it's also supposedly founded on the idea of Christian values ("In God we Trust" on the dollar bill even) which contradict each other. I'm Christian tradition I'm referring to not worshiping false idols (money aka the golden calf) "Money, my personal saviour". It shows the inherent insanity in American cultural values.
