Good friend is rare find
Money, money, money
Calling their children with spoons in the wind
She said, "My struggle hurt but it turned me on
A good pimp's gonna rob you blind
Go round and round and round and round
Somewhere out children laugh
Round and round and round and round
Where industries fill the fish full of mercury"
Bleed a little, bleed a little, bleed a little, bleed a little, oh
Bleed a little, bleed a little, bleed a little, bleed a little, oh
I'm old enough in the city machine
You just make the sound
Oh, 'til your freedom calls you
Heaven stay awhile"
When my revolution came, the chain was gone
I found the system and I lost the pearl
Calling their children with spoons in the wind
It's breaking me down
Money, money, money
I tasted heaven and hell
Like leaves coming down, you've got to wake, shake
But not for me
Money, money
Bleed a little, bleed a little, bleed a little, bleed a little
Well, you don't wake, you don't shake
I feel like a pawn in my own world
She said, "I'm young enough
Calling their children with spoons in the wind
Round and round and round and round
Like meteors rolling down the grass
Their straight talk can ease your mind
Mothers pull the night time in
Do you feel like a pawn in your own world?
Make your vibe go round and round and round and round
On my feet 'til the sound of my heartbeat"
Found the system and you lost the pearl
