All The Money Or The Simple Life Honey Lyrics

Well I can tell you for the money
The simple life honey is good
Uh huh

Well if you ask me how you maybe
Secure life baby you should
Oh, yes you should

Cause if you’re doing all the best that you can
But still you’re running just as fast as the man says

Well I can tell you for the money
The simple life honey is good
Uh huh now
Yes it’s good

Now when you move into the city
You worry on your mental health
Yes you do now
You gentlemen and ladies
You got to be good to yourself
Mmm hmm

So get yourself into a ranch style home
With neighbors never more than a stone’s throw
Then I can tell you for the money
The simple life honey is good
Yes it is
Yes it’s good

But oh no
All the money
Still you just can’t please everybody
How bad do
do you want it
Cause the money
It looks so good good good

So now you’re chasing the American dream
Just like the dough is going to make everybody scream
But I can tell you for the money
The simple life sure looks good
That’s right now
Yes it’s good

Oh no
All the money
Looks so good good good
To everybody
How bad do
Do you want it
Cause the money
It looks so good good good

Now there’s a whole lot of fakin’
And takin’
And shakin’ my hand
Uh huh
And when they tell you they love you
They love you like a one night stand
Mmm hmm

So if you’re playing in a rock and roll band
But still you’re doing whatever the man says
Well I can tell you for the money
The simple life honey is good
That’s right
Yes it’s good

Uh huh
Take care

all the money = fame + loads of money, but also lots of people and "the man" taking advantage of you.

the simple life = a normal, peaceful, family life in a ranch style home, not running from "the man" or doing anything he says.

which one do you want?

Yeah, it's about the two extremes of life:

Famous and rich, but being taken advantage of.

And the simple life, living freely but with little luxuries.

Great song, great band. They do not get the recognition they should.

I love the line "And when they tell you they love you They love you like a one night stand"

American Dream = being taken advantage of.

Great band. Great song.
