Текст песни: Alternative Power to the People + перевод

Well, I can tell you for the money

The simple life, honey, is good, uh huh

Well, if you ask me how you made it?

Secure life, baby, you should

Oh yes, you should

‘Cause if you’re doing all the best that you can

But you’re still runnin' just as fast as the man says

Well, I can tell you for the money

The simple life honey is good

Uh huh, now yes, it’s good

Now when you’re movin' to the city

You worry on your mental health

Yes, you do, now

Oh, you gentlemen and ladies

You’ve got to be good to yourself, mm hmm

So get yourself into a ranch style home

When the neighbor’s never more than a stone’s throw

Well, I can tell you for the money

The simple life, honey, is good

Yes, it is, yes, it’s good

That’s right, yeah

But, oh on, all the money

Still you just can’t please everybody

How bad do, do you want it?

‘Cause the money it looks so good, good, good, ohh

Yeah, whoo, yeah

So now you’re chasin' the American dream

Just like the dollar’s gonna make everybody scream

But I can tell you for the money

The simple life sure looks good

That’s right, now, yes, it’s good, oh yeah

Oh no, all the money

Looks so good, good, good to everybody

How bad do, do you want it?

‘Cause the money, it looks so good, good, good

Now there’s a whole lot of faking and takin'

And shakin' my hand

And when they tell you, they love ya'

They love ya' like a one night stand, mm hmm

So if you’re playin' in a rock’n’roll band

But still you’re doing whatever the man says

Well, I can tell you for the money

The simple life, honey, is good, that’s right

Yes, it’s good

Uh huh, take care
