One more card and it's twenty two Unlucky for him again He never had respect for money it's true That's why he never wins That's why he never ever has enough To treat his lady right He just pushes her away in a huff And says 'Money don't matter to night' Money don't matter to night It sure didn't matter yesterday Just when you think you've got more than enough That's when it all up and flies away That's when you find out that you're better off Makin' sure your soul's alright 'Cause money didn't matter yesterday, And it sure don't matter to night Look, here's a cool investment They're tellin' him he just can't lose So he goes off and tries to find a partner But all he finds are users (users) All he finds are snakes in ever color Every nationality and size Seems like the only thing he can do Is just roll his eyes, and say that Money don't matter to night (don't matter) It sure didn't matter yesterday Just when you think you've got more than enough That's when it all up and flies away That's when you find out that you're better off Makin' sure your soul's alright (soul's alright) 'Cause money didn't matter yesterday, (don't matter) And it sure don't matter to night (ooh-wee-ooh, don't matter) (it don't matter to night, no) Hey now, maybe we can find a good reason To send a child off to war So what if we're controllin' all the oil, Is it worth a child dying for? (is it worth it?) If long life is what we all live for Then long life will come to pass Anything is better than the picture of the child In a cloud of gas And you think you got it bad Money don't matter to night (no, don't matter) It sure didn't matter yesterday (yesterday) Just when you think you've got more than enough That's when it all up and flies away (flies away, flies away) That's when you find out that you're better off Makin' sure your soul's alright (make certain that your soul's alright) 'Cause money didn't matter yesterday, It sure don't matter to night Money don't matter to night It sure didn't matter yesterday (yesterday, yesterday) Just when you think you've got more than enough That's when it all up and flies away (flies away, flies away) That's when you find out that you're better off Makin' sure your soul's alright Money didn't matter yesterday, And it sure don't matter to night
