In the middle of May In the seconds of the very last shades of day I see that nobodies kids anymore Though we look that way from the 24th floor window
Cause it’s easy to be the miser when no one’s the wiser Easy to shake down Easy to glean the green from Bay Ridge to Queens Easy to wear the crown
They say that this place ain’t got a heart Cause I could still hear the beat And every night is oh-oh-oh-ah-oh, oh-oh-oh-ah-oh From all the way down the street
It goes on and on and (as long as you got the money) On and on and (as long as you got the money) On and on and (as long as you got the money) On and on and (Slumlord doesn’t care)
Staying out of hallway and hold tight till Saturday Cause you got the rent to pay Dreams are shelling out next to none, with no Rubicon Well honey, those days are done
Shelling out three G’s, for four walls and keys Hey, at least you can run the town Shaking our pockets loose, but hey what’s the use I guess we’re takin’ it sitting down
They say that this place ain’t got a heart Cause I could still hear the beat And every night is oh-oh-oh-ah-oh, oh-oh-oh-ah-oh From all the way down the street
It goes on and on and (as long as you got the money) On and on and (as long as you got the money) On and on and (as long as you got the money) On and on and (as long as you got the money)
It goes on and on and (but they want that money) On and on and (they want that money-eh-eh-eh-ey) On and on and (they want that money) On and on and (they want that money-eh-eh-eh-ey)
