More Money Tonight Lyrics

I always felt that I was different
I always thought that that was good
I always thought that I was different
I always felt that that was good
Sometimes in school people pick on me
In the gym locker room or in the hallway
Cruel things people do and say
Wait a minute wait a minute
I'll make more money tonight
Than you ever dreamed of
You thought I was strange
Well just look at me now
If you are lucky I'll play in your city
And you can come see me if you got the...
Somebody stole all my clothes that I like to wear
But I'm so rich and famous baby what do I care
Wait a minute wait a minute
If you got the money If you got the money
If you got the money If you got the money

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Why has no-one commented on this song? The amount of angst-fueled people on this site, and not one peep? This is great song, I've been out of school for 6 years and I love it when I see the people who I hated and they're completely miserable with their pathetic and dull lives... Is that wrong of me??? Oh yeah, I should say, This song is (quite clearly) about having been told you're nothing by so many people for so long, and then making something of yourself and sticking it all right up their arse!!!! Love it!!!!

Is this song supposed to be ironic or no? Regardless it's pretty great
