I've been robbing Peter to pay Paul
Now Pete's getting wise
I get calls from the bank
Saying "we're on to your lies"
But I look around and see others
Strutting down the street
They got it easy
Don't feel the heat
Her money talks
It says "look at me"
His money talks
It says "I buy what I see"
Their money talks
It says "the good life"
But when my money, my money talks
It just says "goodbye"
I'm keep sinking into debt
Faster then I can climb
It's bread and water for a while
And I haven't done a crime
But they're still strutting
I wonder if they know
That it's easy to fall
From high to low
Her money talks
It says "look at me"
His money talks
It says "I buy what I see"
Their money talks
It says "the good life"
But when my money, my money talks
It just says "goodbye"
