Time & Money Lyrics

Cover art for Time & Money lyrics by DMA's

Chasing an ever higher standard of living, a husband is pushed into higher ambitions, more hours at the office, and long business trips to pursue more and more money.

The trappings have been accompanied by appreciable growth in their 401(k) and checking accounts, but the wife is empty inside. She wants out. They separate and she finds no obvious answer in the men she dates. What is it that's missing?

The endless grasping at money was never his idea. He's all too happy to scale back from the rat race, but before he does. Is that what she wants? Could that be it? They could be happy together if it's togetherness that she's needed.

He's good either way. The six figure bank account was never his idea. He'll spend his half of it on his next love if it isn't going to be her. But he'll try to be what she needs, if she's realized that it's love that's important.
