Money Machine Lyrics

Cover art for Money Machine lyrics by James Taylor

Not related at all. This album was 3 years after his last, and he was being pressured to turn out a moneymaker. He's expressing his cynicism of the recording industry, which saw him as a money machine to be turned on at will, rather than a creative outlet. The line to which you refer is simply more cynicism about how having money will solve all your problems - get your song played, make you popular, get your 'baby' to come back to you.
