Lirieke: J. J. Cale. Money Talks.

Money talks, it'll tell you a story
Money talks, it says strange things
Hey money talks, very loudly

You'd be surprised
The friends you can buy with small change

They say, "It's the root of all evil"
They say, "Gold is the king"
Hey money talks, you'd better believe it

All that gold
Don't mean a thing

Rich people, I hear those pockets jingle
Spare change, I hear the down and outers cry
Money talks, they tip-toe up behind you

'Cause they steal what they can
Off the cuff or on the sly

Money talks
Money talks
Money talks
