Without the Money Lyrics
one, two, three, four.
see i only wanna have a good life
one i could live and wouldn't have to despise
but i only wanted you to know
that without the money
there's nothing you can do
there are those that never had to work it out
come from places where green from trees fall
but i only wanted you to know
that without the money that talks through and through
without the money
they're just like me and you
you can't slide into empty hand (?)
from the house up on the hill
and you... ?
on the back of a thousand dollar bill
see i only wanted everything but me
yeah i only wanted everything for free
yeah
one i could live and wouldn't have to despise
but i only wanted you to know
that without the money
there's nothing you can do
come from places where green from trees fall
but i only wanted you to know
that without the money that talks through and through
without the money
they're just like me and you
from the house up on the hill
and you... ?
on the back of a thousand dollar bill
see i only wanted everything but me
yeah

Its about being broke. taking fire at people who never have money problems. the ending is a bit ambiguous, is it a) sort of being self critical of the broke protagonist, or just saying b) I wanted everything for me, everything for free, and insinuating there's nothing wrong with that? The song ends without spelling it out, leaving it to the listener to interpret and decide for themselves.
