your money or your life - alexis harte lyrics
this is not my life
these are not my shoes
these pants, they fit way too tight
i will dance and shake them loose
were you ever 14?
driving your first car?
when you feel the wind in your hair
is that not still who you are?
she whispers it so plain
into the spitting rain
says, “boy, it’s your money or your life”
we all take a few wrong turns
through alleys cold and grey
me, i chased the wrong bird
and my own bird flew away
time is not your friend
despite all that you do
if you end up getting lost
she will not come back for you
but she’ll speak it oh so clear
into your dirty ear
she says, “boy, it’s your money or your life”
used to shine my own shoes
and try and sing the blues
now i go to the shoeshine man
and i read the bbc news
i used to fix my own car
break down somewhere far
now they just plug in a chip
but i never have time to take a trip
so this is not my life
and these are not my shoes
i borrowed everything i have
and i’ll give it all to you
and she’ll scream it in my ear
so i could finally hear
she said, “daddy, it’s your money or your life”
