Checked my balance such a joke, I?m just saving up to be broke
An income refugee, I ain?t got no equity
It?s clear to me I ain?t got a friend every time I stop at the ATM
I hit ?Fast Cash? on the screen, just to hear it laugh at me
Nothing burning a hole in my pocket
And I?m just looking for change

(Chorus)
Money talks, and everybody listens
You can hear it sayin? no one rides for free
Money talks, get a word in while it?s bitchin?
I need a conversation with the currency
You know it walks, yeah, yeah
I want my money back guarantee
Money talks, money talks, it just ain?t talking to me

I went to the boss man for a raise
Just enough to hit minimum wage
He said ?I?d like to put your mind at ease

But it just don?t grow on trees?
Collection calls won?t let me be, my credit line is history
I?m always in the hole it seems, yet I can?t get on the green
Some may say you can live without it
Then they go and play the lottery

(Chorus)
Went to the crossroads to sell my soul
Make a deal with the devil for silver and gold
He said ?Sorry son I can?t help you now
Things are tight and I?m all tapped out?
Down the road I met a preacher man who said
?Boy I can save you where no one can
A contribution will set you free? it makes no cents to me!
