the moneygoround - the kinks lyrics
[verse one]
robert owes half to grenville
who, in turn, gave half to larry, who
adored my instrumentals
and so he gave half to a foreign publisher
he took half the money
that was earned in some far distant land
gave back half to larry
and i end up with half of goodness knows what
[bridge]
can somebody explain
why things go on this way?
i thought they were my friends
i can’t believe it’s me
i can’t believe that i’m so green
[chorus]
eyes down, round and round
let’s all sit and watch the money-go-round
everyone take a little bit here and a little bit there
do they all deserve money from a song that they’ve never heard?
they don’t know the tune and they don’t know the words
but they don’t give a d-mn
there’s no end to it
i’m in a pit and i’m stuck in it
the money goes ’round and around and around
and it comes out here
when they’ve all taken their share
[verse two]
i went to see a solicitor and my story was heard and the writs were served
on the verge of a nervous breakdown
i decided to fight right to the end
but if i ever get my money
i’ll be too old and grey to spend it
[outro]
oh, but life goes on and on
and no one ever wins
and time goes quickly by
just like the money-go-round
i only hope that i’ll survive
