Good Money (and Bad Common Sense)
©Jerry Axson

Caught you throwing your money around-
down at the local five and dime,
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again -
that green can make you lose your mind,
and you’re too blind to see -
what’s right in front of your face,
that dollar bill can’t save your soul -
you better buy yourself some grace,

Don’t you worry what they’ll write in your epitaph…
I’m sure we’ll all just sit back and have a good laugh...
(Ha - Ha - Ha -)

Good money and bad common sense -
the only thing for sure is you don’t know where it went,
ignorance is your only defense - behind -
good money and bad common sense...

I wish you’d go and discover yourself -
in a whole new set of lights,
instead of thinking you can buy yourself -
from the wrong side of the tracks to the right,
Tiger farms in North Dakota -
and Polar Bears in the South,
I hear tell you bought a waterfall -
what the hell was that all about?
