Indigo Girls Money Made You Mean Lyrics

so money made you mean
that's not how it's supposed to be
you're ready to challenge and defend
yeah but for all the wrong reasons
how much do we really need
a question if you have to ask
just means what it means
the question that says everything
right or left it's all the same conspiracy
just cause you ask
doesn't make a difference to me

yeah you could keep it all or give it away
(ah)
but where did it come from in the first place
(where does it come from)
robbing peter to pay me and i'll just be
(ah)
giving it back to peter to feel free
(giving it back)
and you have to fix everything that's broke
(ah)
cause it'll never leave you alone
(it'll never leave you alone)
reinvent the wheel be the b___ of a joke
(ah)
take the long road to charity
yeah right or left it's all the same conspiracy
robbing peter to pay paul
or robbing peter to pay me
robbing peter to pay paul
or robbing peter to pay me
yeah it's just to hard
oh well jump in
forget about the sharks and swim
cause now you're one
yeah it's just to hard
oh well jump in
forget about the sharks and swim
cause now you're one
you can't deny it anymore
(ah where did it come from)
(ah giving it back)
you can't deny it anymore
(ah it'll never leave you alone)
(ah)
take the long road to charity
yeah right or left it's all the same conspiracy
yeah robbing peter to pay paul
or robbing peter to pay me
yeah robbing peter to pay paul
or robbing peter to pay me
you can't deny it any more
