Indigo Girls
Money Made You Mean (Live Version)
[Verse 1]
So money made you mean
That's not how it's supposed to be
You're ready to challenge or defend
Yeah, but for all the wrong reasons
[Verse 2]
How much do we really need?
A question, if you have to ask
Just means what it means—
The question that says everything
[Chorus]
Right or left it's all the same conspiracy
Just 'cause you ask
Doesn't make it different to me
[Verse 3]
Yeah, you could keep it all or give it away
But where does it come from in the first place?
Robbing Peter to pay me, and I'll just be
Giving it back to Peter to feel free
[Verse 4]
And you have to fix everything that's broke
'Cause it'll never leave you alone
Reinvent the wheel, be the butt of a joke
Take the long road to charity
[Chorus]
Yeah, right or left it's all the same conspiracy
Robbing Peter to pay Paul
Or robbing Peter to pay me
Robbing Peter to pay Paul
Or robbing Peter to pay me
[Bridge]
Yeah, it's just too hard, oh well, jump in
Forget about the sharks and swim
'Cause now you're one
Yeah, it's just too hard, oh well, jump in
Forget about the sharks and swim
'Cause now you're one
You can't deny it anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Ah, where'd it come from?
Ah, give it a thought
You can't deny it
Ah, it'll never leave you alone
Ah, take the long road to charity
[Chorus]
Right or left it's all the same conspiracy
Robbing Peter to pay Paul
Or robbing Peter to pay me
Robbing Peter to pay Paul
Or robbing Peter to pay me
You can't deny it anymore
[Outro]
Alison Brown, y'all. It's a new song by Amy.
Ah, she's bad.
