Easy Money

A demo we're working on of a song called "Easy Money". Footage courtesy of the G20 Summit in Toronto (and to give you something to watch and think about). Here is the lyric:

Easy Money (demo)
Keith McDonald
July 25, 2010

Got a neighbour by the name of Jones
And you try to keep ahead
So you won't be left alone
If he buys a car
You have to buy a car
If he paints his house
You have to paint your house
It's a game of cat and mouse

Got some botox on your finger tips
Got some extra weight hanging off your hips
Have to sell your boat
Just to keep your self afloat
Got a draft already
For your suicide note
Tell me what you wrote

Be kind to the people on your way back down
Cause you're gonna' meet again when come back down
Down
Down
Down

Got the politicians in your back pocket
All the interest rates are set to sky rocket
Got a tax on the tax
On the tax on the tax
But you get your money back
As a matter of fact
You're exempt from all that

Be kind to the people on your way to the top
Cause you're gonna' meet again when your status drops
Back down
Down
Down
Down

Easy money
Easy money
See how if flows
Easy money
Easy money
That's how it goes

Solo

Easy money
Easy money
See how if flows
Easy money
Easy money
That's how it goes

Got a neighbour by the name of Jones
And you try to keep ahead
So you won't be left alone
If he buys a car
You have to buy a car
If he paints his house
You have to paint your house
It's a game of cat and mouse

Easy money
Easy money
See how if flows
Easy money
Easy money
That's how it goes
