[Chorus]
Your money don't last -- if you have it all locked in a vault
Your money don't last -- if you have it all locked in a vault
The reaper comes around -- and it's time to go in the ground
Where will it go? You ought to know

[Verse]
The old goat said, "There's a lot of extra grain in my bins"
"And I'm out of space, so I'll build a bigger place," but it's a sin
Read chapter 12 in Luke, and you'll know he'll never use
Those better bins -- say it again

[Chorus]
(And it's all because)
Your money don't last -- if you have it all locked in a vault
Your money don't last -- if you have it all locked in a vault
The reaper comes around -- and it's time to go in the ground
Where will it go? You ought to know

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
(Ba ba ba ba)
In Luke 16 verse 19, you'll find the place to start
The wealthy dude and Lazarus, who, you know, lived life apart
The rich man had the food and the drink and lived with ease
It was nice 'til he died, but then the guy said
"Ow, but it's hot down here!"
Ooh wee! They're comin' with heat -- for folks who love greed
[Chorus]
And it's all because
Your money don't last -- if you have it all locked in a vault
Your money don't last -- if you have it all locked in a vault
The reaper comes around -- and it's time to go in the ground
Where will it go? You ought to know

Where will you go? You ought to know
