Listen to the money when it talks
Makes you feel used up and small
You’re caught between its hands
Why did you try at all?

I listened and remembered what he said
“What’s good for me is good for you
Be careful what you wish for
It might come true”

That sometimes at night
When you’re alone inside your bed
You think about the things that have been said
That sometimes your life begins to go
In directions you don’t like
You can’t resist the flow
If you listen then you might
Then you might…

Listen once and listen good
What’s lost is never coming back
The people that you trust
Are the people you should watch

Ooh and sometimes at night
When you’re alone inside your bed
You think about the things that have been said
That sometimes your life begins to go
In directions you don’t know
You can’t resist the flow
If you listen then you might
Then you might
