About Money Made

"Money Made" is the fourth single from Australian rock band AC/DC from their fifteenth studio album Black Ice. The song was released only through radio airplay in Australia in July 2009, and in the UK as a CD along with "War Machine". Angus Young declared that his inspiration for the song was the obsession with money in the United States – "The focus seems to be, 'How do we get money out of this? Do we keep that school? Is there a profit in it? Do we really need that new hospital? Can you not die quicker? Do we really have to spend money on that medicine? How old are you now?' Sometimes you think, 'Can we all take one deep breath?' The basics have got to be in place. Thirty years ago, a fuckin' school never made money. Filling in a road or putting up a traffic light didn't make money. Hospitals were there to keep people well, not make money." Bassist Cliff Williams has stated it is his favourite track from Black Ice, saying, "It has a chaingang vibe to it."

Work work money made [Repeat: x4]

Then went down to LA,
They roped 'em in,
She couldn't get away,
Spending cash all about,
The die was cast,
There's no burning out amount of money made

Work work money made,
Champagne life, high on display,
Work work money made,
Work work money made,
You keep it up, you get it made,
Work work money made,

Can't bring me into Hollywood,
See you livin' it up,
It feels mighty good,
Recommendations all around,
Come taste the sweet life,
That's what it's all about,
That money made

Work work money made,
Champagne life, high on display,
Work work money made,
Work work money made,
Keep it up, you make the grade,
Work work money made,
That money made,

Hit the gas,

That kind of life is good for her,
Getting out of bed nearly half past four,
Her swimming pool is the biggest about,
So don't you call her cause she ain't around,
That money made,
Oh, money made,
Oh, that money made,

Work work money made, that money made,
Work work money made, strings of pearls all kinds of change,
Work work money made, that money made,
Work work money made, shake baby shake,
Shake it baby shake it, shake baby shake,
Shake baby shake, shake baby shake, shake baby shake, (Fade)
