So he goes off and tries to find a partner
That's when it all up and flies away
Money didn't matter yesterday
And says, "Money don't matter tonight"
Is just roll his eyes, and say that
He just pushes her away in a huff
It sure didn't matter yesterday
That's when it all up and flies away
Money don't matter tonight
That's why he never wins
Just when you think you've got more than enough
Makin' sure your soul's alright
Is it worth a child dying for?
All he finds are snakes in every color
Then long life will come to pass
Makin' sure your soul's alright
Every nationality and size
Just when you think you've got more than enough
It sure didn't matter yesterday
So what if we're controllin' all the oil?
Seems like the only thing he can do
That's when it all up and flies away
In a cloud of gas and you think you got it bad
Money don't matter tonight
That's when you find out that you're better off
Money don't matter tonight
'Cause money didn't matter yesterday
And it sure don't matter tonight
It sure didn't matter yesterday
Makin' sure your soul's alright
And it sure don't matter tonight
To send a child off to war
That's when you find out that you're better off
Just when you think you've got more than enough
Money don't matter tonight
Makin' sure your soul's alright
That's when it all up and flies away
Hey now, maybe we can find a good reason
To treat his lady right
That's when you find out that you're better off
Look, here's a cool investment
It don't matter tonight, no
Anything is better than the picture of the child
And it sure don't matter tonight
But all he finds are users
It sure didn't matter yesterday
Just when you think you've got more than enough
That's when you find out that you're better off
That's why he never ever has enough
He never had respect for money it's true
'Cause money didn't matter yesterday
They're tellin' him he just can't lose
'Cause money didn't matter yesterday
If long life is what we all live for
Ooh wee ooh, don't matter
