A Fight About Money Lyrics

This is not a song about victory
It's not a song about the relative worth of you or me
It's not a song about letting a sleeping dog lie
Letting you cry tonight
I don't wanna go through the detail
You always were the big picture man yourself
It is traiting for a derail

[chorus]
No tears can remiss farewell
Oh and every spin a break the words around your home
Travelling about till you're so confused
You can't be sure which way is up
How much there is to live
How I chose to know

I don't wanna become a victim
Try to spend a million dollar
But I'd rather you wait
Just waving a smile and you got something to sell
No fears when there's this farewell

[chorus]

Ever spend the night I never spend in tune
Leads you to the music makes it so obscure
But you're not really sure what you're gonna get
How much to remember how much to forget
You're not really sure which way is up
How much is to live how much is I know
You're not really sure which way is up
How much is to live how much is I know
You're not really sure what you're gonna get
How much to remember how much to forget
You're not really sure what you're gonna get no

Don't wanna go through the details
Don't wanna go through the details

I don't wanna become a victim
Try to spend a million dollar 
But I'd rather you wait
Just waving a smile and you got something to sell
No fears when there's this farewell

[chorus]

Don't wanna go through the details
Don't wanna go through the details

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.
