Songs About Money

[DMAFl]

Money. Some of us are standing in long lines to get into stores to spend it.  And we can't forget that it's tax time, so some of us are getting those refunds and some of us are getting ready to ante up.  And all the while, investment values are bouncing around like out of control tennis balls.   Maybe it's the root of all evil, but that cookie jar cash stash is not such a bad thing.  Musicians sure have a lot to say about it.  How about some songs about money, or spending it, or shopping  with it (yay) , etc.?

Signs by the Five Man Electrical Band

Have always liked this song and it's message, it's so versatile, it's been used on many of our other posts.

"And the sign said, everybody welcome,

come in, kneel down and pray

But when they passed around the plate

at the end of it all

I didn't have a penny to pay"......

Living In The City-Stevie Wonder

His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
Living just enough, just enough for the city
