Free Money Lyrics

Cover art for Free Money lyrics by Patti Smith

i've always felt like this song was about someone who was in dire need of money so they ended up stealing it - "see those dollar bills swirling around my head/i know they're stolen, but i don't feel bad." and she doesn't feel bad because what she did with the money was good ("i'll buy you all the things you'll ever need/baby, i know all our troubles will be gone"). just my interpretation though. it's just too bad she doesn't get more comments than she does.
