All For The Money Lyrics

All for the money

Did you see him jump right off the speaker last night?

I think Ill do that, at our next show

I wanna be just like the guys I saw on TV

I wanna play the Roxy so bad, I can almost taste it

Dont you know if you dont, then you wont get signed

I am so sick of being stepped on

I will scream, then sing on the chords,

Cuz thats whats cool today

Its not a matter of whether I like it or not (chorus)

Maybe I should do my hair just like Robert Smith

Maybe we can all dress up in suits,

Just like The Beatles

So sick of playing small-time shows

In small own, with small amps

Pay the promoters, and you just might play

at your favorite venue

Dont you know if you dont then you wont get signed

(chorus)

Is nothing sacred?

Not since checked, because

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.

Well, i guess this one is pretty straight foward. It's just about a person thats in the music scene that wants to make it big, but doesn't want to compromise his own values of music just to make it. It's what we're all caught up in.

"Pay the promoters, and you might play at your favorite venue..." Kinda showing the darker side of the local music scene...YYep.

Good stuff.
