Real Money
Earning Beyond Green Eyes: The Pursuit of Real Money
Lyrics
Do you feel like you’re worth the money?
Questioning self-worth in terms of monetary value.
Do you like getting paid?
Asking if the listener enjoys receiving payment.
Turn yourself into the green eyed monster
Suggesting transforming into a jealous person for financial gain.
Jealousy is a pain.
Highlighting that jealousy brings pain.
Brick by boring brick
Metaphorically building a mundane existence.
We work all day
Describing the daily grind of work.
We beg, We pray
Emphasizing the acts of pleading and praying in the struggle.
We scrimp, We save
Conveying efforts to be frugal and accumulate savings.
And at the end of it
Reflecting on the collective experience of earning.
We all get paid
Stating that everyone receives compensation.
We take what we can and we run, to the grave
Indicating a desire to gather as much as possible in life.
We’ve got to earn real money
Expressing the need to acquire genuine wealth.
Do you think you know what you’re in for?
Questioning if one comprehends the consequences of their choices.
The jealous and the fame
Referring to challenges associated with fame and envy.
Trade yourself, for money is essential
Encouraging trading personal values for essential money.
Soon we’ll all be the same
Suggesting a future where everyone becomes similar.
Brick by boring brick
Repeating the metaphor of constructing a dull life.
We work all day
Reiterating the daily toil of labor.
We beg, We pray
Reemphasizing the acts of pleading and praying.
We scrimp, We save
Reiterating efforts to be thrifty and save.
And at the end of it
Repeating the notion that everyone receives compensation.
We all get paid
Reiterating the desire to accumulate as much as possible.
We take what we can and we run, to the grave
Reiterating the inevitability of death and the pursuit of wealth.
We’ve got to earn real money
Restating the importance of earning genuine money.
